It’s in the files as Xmas II — the second of three all-Christmas shows leading up to the big day. A soulful & funky start (of course), then odes to trees & cards, an extended Jazz Meditation™, and a visit from that evil Santa anagram … Satan. Of course, two more versions of You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch … and … The Twelve Days of Christmas (jazzy). Oh, and did I mention the Perfect Christmas Song? Give it a listen and tell your friends. Sharing is caring. Xmas III is next week, and The 24 Hours of Christmas starts 6pmET on Christmas Eve.
