Cool Yule - The Don Burrows Quintet, Christmas Album (Ad free)
Classic Australian Christmas Album. It was first released in 1978 and then again on CD in 1989 (which is the version I have). In my family's house it doesn't feel like Christmas till I have listened to it. Give it a go. You will be bopping along to these classic carols with a smooth jazz twist in no time.

Message from Don Burrows on back cover of CD: "I've always enjoyed Christmas Carols. They are unique in that they are sung, played and enjoyed by just about everyone, everywhere. I decided to explore the jazz possibilities of several all-time favourites by changing the chords here and there, adapting their familiar melodies to unfamiliar rythmic backings, yet striving to retain the traditional message each carol contains. The result is this performance by the Quintet which I hope is as enjoyable for you as it was for us. Happy listening!" Don Burrows. Thanks Don!
