A Christmas Day on CD

Renowned Jazz vocalist Ranee Lee delights with a collection of swinging holiday tunes. Weaving a rich tapestry of sound the song selection features well loved classics, including 'The Christmas Waltz', 'Deck The Halls' and 'There's No Place Like Home For The Holidays'. Among the highlights are 'Have yourself A Merry Little Christmas' with solid support from the late bassist Ray Brown and an all-star band, Ranee's intimate reworking of 'Santa Baby' and her own composition the title track 'A Christmas Day' a charming duet with Oliver Jones. While the majority of the tracks have appeared on various Justin Time Christmas compilations released over the last 25 years, the exception is Ranee's recently recorded, previously unreleased rendition of the 'Little Drummer Boy'.
