Info for Christmas Songs

Co-produced by Krall, with GRAMMY® award winning, Tommy LiPuma, the album features the talents of renowned arranger and bassist John Clayton (Count Basie, Duke Ellington), guitarist Anthony Wilson (Chris Botti, Michael Buble), drummer Jeff Hamilton (Rosemary Clooney, Natalie Cole) and bassist Bob Hurst (The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Saturday Night Live). The Clayton/Hamilton Orchestra accompanies Krall for seasonal standards, 'Let It Snow,' 'I'll Be Home For Christmas,' 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town' and 'Jingle Bells.'

Legendary composer Johnny Mandel contributes a string arrangement to 'Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep.' Rounding out the album are previously released versions of 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas' and 'Christmas Time Is Here' with a band that includes guitarist Russell Malone. This album is the perfect stocking stuffer for the holiday season for you and all your friends!

Krall gets a ton of help on her Christmas album from the well-drilled Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra as well as from the usual peeps in her own bands. The singer doesn't work too hard to sell it, preferring to stay in the pocket, and the solos are short all the way around, but it all sounds swingin', fun and jazzy. The set list won't offer any surprises ('Jingle Bells,' 'Let It Snow,' 'Christmas Song'), but this album has a nice, timeless quality to it. (Tad Hendrickson, JazzTimes)
