Classic jazz album, good for a relaxing evening or cocktail hour vibes. Feel like I still prefer brass jazz though but really good live performances still! A 3 because I see its merit but not super my style

Such a warm and cozy album, perfect for Christmastime! While some songs were a bit too slow or “old fashioned” for me I still think this is a great album
