An uptempo, jazzy tune straight from the jazz meets poet of the 1960's. Lyrics have an edge, with touch of sarcasm but yet the ending meaning... amazing grace, is fittingly the Christmas message. Male Vocals, Christmas, Jazz Vocals
A medium tempo bluesy Christmas song about being lonely at Christmas. A little tongue 'n cheek with some humorous lyrics. Male Vocals, Christmas, Xmas RnB Vocals
The traditional standard, Amazing Grace done with a jazz quartet, gospel style. Instrumental solos from organ and trumpet, Male Vocals, Christmas, Jazz Vocals
The traditional classic, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, done in a funky Rhythm & Blues way. Uptempo with a beat that makes this very much a nontraditional way to perform it. Male Vocals, Christmas, Xmas RnB Vocals
The tradition, classic Silent night, recorded in a non traditional bluesy gospel way. Piano and vocal with alternate harmonic structure gives it a nostalgic feel. Male Vocals, Christmas, Christmas Vocals
The Christmas classic starts off with piano and drums with a standard opening that is melancholy and true to the basic principle of the song. However, don't be fooled, I just couldn't let it go like that! It transforms into a boogie woogie piano piece. Perfect for closing credits. Instrumental, Christmas, Christmas Piano
The First Noel is a Christmas classic! Done here in a slower, heartfelt, emotional way. A smaller combo compliments a small chorus of voices in a call and answer type arrangement. Male Vocals, Christmas, Christmas Vocals
The classic Christmas Carol, We wish you a merry Christmas has been around forever. Countless renditions of this song have been done by thousands of artists, but I dare say.... not like this. Uptempo in 6/8 time completely gives this song a new dimension and a brand new feel. Male Vocals, Christmas, Jazz Vocals
The Classic Christmas carol, O Christmas Tree done as a piano/vocal. A slower, heartfelt version that stirs the emotions. Alternative harmonic structure puts a different spin on it and creates a reflective, pensive scene. Male Vocals, Christmas, Jazz Vocals
A little story about Christmas at Buzz's Restaurant. Although it is name specific, portions certainly could be used for general Christmas use. It's about remembering a place from a long time ago. Nostalgic theme about an adult who wants to find the places of their youth and the people who were there, Male Vocals, Christmas, Xmas RnB Vocals
