“This lively contemporary jazz collection of holiday music is just right for the Christmas season and is alive with some fine jazz musings! With Bill Carter on keyboards, this collection of 12 songs will delight jazz listeners. Among the 12 songs are found the endearing "Sussex Carol," "What Child is This," "Coventry Carol," "Creator of the Stars of Night," an intricate "God Rest Ye, Merry Jazzmen" which will have wide appeal, and "Welcome Home."
