A Brubeck Christmas
A Dave Brubeck Christmas
Amazon Price: $14.99 (as of 11/29/2009)
Dave Brubeck's moving liner notes to this 14-number assortment of solo jazz piano works are almost as good as his impressions of the standards and lesser-know Christmas music. Mixing jazz playing with classical flourishes and splashes of blues, Brubeck deftly expands the sound of Christmas. You'll never hear a "Silent Night" like Brubeck's as the glistening introduction leads to a powerful meditation on the melody.
Verve Presents: Very Best of Christmas Jazz
Verve Presents: Very Best of Christmas Jazz
Amazon Price: $8.97 (as of 11/29/2009)
Skip the Christmas caroling this year and slide in the new Verve Music compilation The Very Best of Christmas Jazz. This jolly collection features fourteen of the world's favorite holiday jingles previously recorded by the legendary vocalists and musicians of jazz. Jazz divas Shirley Horn sings "Winter Wonderland," powerhouse singer Ella Fitzgerald performs a playful rendition of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," and the eloquent Dinah Washington amazes on "Silent Night.
A Charlie Brown Christmas from Jazz Great Vince Guaraldi
A Charlie Brown Christmas
Amazon Price: $10.97 (as of 11/29/2009)
The first time you listen to this disc you will undoubtedly be transported directly back to your childhood. Charles Schulz's Peanuts characters will go toe-tapping and funky-dancing through your mind's eye. Play it a few more times, though (ignoring the dialogue snippets, if you can), and you will begin to truly revel in Guaraldi's wonderful, humorous, deep piano playing.
Jazz Yule Love

If you're looking for a CD of Christmas music played by jazz's finest, this timely disc is for you--here's a dozen tracks all flawlessly executed. No fluff, no smoothness, all business. Played by musicians such as Cedar Walton's rightfully named Eastern Rebellion, the legendary Les McCann, the not-so-famous pianist Pete Jolly, the Eugene Maslov Trio, and with tasty quartets led by Kenny Burrell and Terry Gibbs, Jazz Yule Love is a jazz lover's delight.

Diana Krall
Diana Krall Christmas Songs
Amazon Price: $9.99 (as of 11/29/2009)
she excels with an approach mastered long ago: elegant delivery that gives extra polish to a very familiar lineup. Some might find her style frosty at times, but that will come as a relief to those who want their carolers to cut through some of the holiday treacle and create a festive, yet grown-up vibe. And Krall does show off her playful side with little, personal touches.
Christmas with Louis Armstrong
The Best of Louis Armstrong - The Christmas Collection: 20th Century Masters
Amazon Price: $8.97 (as of 11/29/2009)
Yes, this is a compilation album (a collection of tracks from different albums rather than one issued complete by the artist), but who cares. This is a collection of fine Christmas tunes by great artists from the era of the big bands, jazz, and swing. Besides, anytime you can hear Louis Armstrong make music is a time to be happy and that seems particularly appropriate to the Christmas season.
Christmas With Ella Fitzgerald
![Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas [Remastered]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31NFJB-dXaL._SL160_.jpg)
Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas [Remastered]
Amazon Price: $8.97 (as of 11/29/2009)
The First Lady of Song recorded these tunes in 1960, at the peak of her interpretive powers. As such, she puts her singular stamp on everything from a sultry vamp like "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve" to the sweet and cozy "The Christmas Song."

Other highlights include holiday hits and semihits from Tommy Dorsey, Freddie Martin (featuring future talk-show legend Merv Griffin crooning "Sleigh Ride"), Ralph Flanagan, and piano great Fats Waller, who must've brought the house down back in the '30s if "Swingin' Them Jingle Bells" is any indication

Chris Botti - December
Christmas Classics from Frank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra Christmas Collection
Amazon Price: $13.99 (as of 11/29/2009)
Complete with four previously unreleased tracks (some from live TV specials) -- including two with Bing Crosby ("The Christmas Song" and "White Christmas"), the 18-song collection surveys Sinatra's holiday output and its effects are often chilling. Listening to him glide soulfully through Jimmy Webb's melancholy but romantic "What Ever Happened to Christmas?"
Oscar Peterson - Christmas
Oscar Peterson Christmas
Amazon Price: $13.99 (as of 11/29/2009)
The result is a triumphant set of 14 standards showcasing the group's intricate interplay and tasty individual solos. The ensemble's instrument mix--a discreet blend of vibes, flügelhorn, guitar, bass, drums, and piano--adds splashes of color and shading on classics such as "Let It Snow" when you least expect it.
Dianne Reeves - Christmas
Christmas Time Is Here
Amazon Price: $18.98 (as of 11/29/2009)
This singer's singer takes such delight in singing in and out of melody lines and pushing a phrase above, below and sometimes beyond that she sweeps you up into her flights of fancy and finesse. Just listen to her change "The Christmas Waltz" into a rhythmic wonder.
