Continuing a beloved New York tradition, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis warms up the House of Swing with soulful renditions of holiday classics.
With fresh arrangements, playful improvisation and entertaining storytelling, they bring out the magic in such classics as Count Basie's "Jingle Bells," "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and "Brazilian Sleigh Bells."
