Described as a “warm and cozy greeting card of an album” – featured tunes include Christmas classics such as ‘The Christmas Song’, ‘Winter Wonderland’, carols such as ‘Silent Night’, and lesser-known tunes like ‘Christmas Rainbows’. The band will also present other jazz standard arrangements which Joe performed throughout his career.
