Brubeck delivers a cool-jazz Christmas album that you'll have to break out year after year. It's just him at the piano on this 1996 recording, bringing class and joy to Santa Claus Is Coming to Town; Winter Wonderland; Away in a Manger; Joy to the World; the Christmas Song; Jingle Bells, and more. You're also treated to two Brubeck originals: To US Is Given and Run, Run, Run to Bethlehem !
Recorded at Ambient Recording Studio, Stamford, Connecticut June 6 and 8, 1996.
