Christmas Jazz Anybody?


Can you recommend some good Christmas Jazz? I was listening to "A Charlie Brown Christmas," the other day and realized I don't have any Christmas Jazz. I'm thinking about classic jazz stylists (the real deal not elevator easy listening stuff). Any hard bop? Thanks

I know that Wynton came out with some Xmas tunes w/Mumbles a while back (early 90s)...might have been "Crescent City Christmas." I taped it off FM back in the day but never knew what the release was, but the tunes walk the fine line between traditional and new, with some of Wynton's harmonic "variations" that he does so well.
Not exactly jazz, but close is James Taylor's Christmas CD. The audio quality is among the best I know to boot.
Cyrus Chestnut & Friends " A Charlie Brown Christmas ". I second the James Taylor Christmas CD...Excellent stuff.
Happy Holidays.
Enjoy.
Second the Tony Bennett and Count Basie Band:
"A Swingin' Christmas" excellent.

Boney James: "Boney's Funky Christmas" is very good also.
