The Herb Alpert/Jeff Lorber track “Winter Wonderland” wasn’t on A&M, but we’ll give it a pass–after all, a certain Mr. Alpert was the one who co-founded A&M back in 1962!  Here is their take on this holiday classic, which appeared on the fundraiser compilation Jazz To The World:

And in the spirit of “his and hers” gifts, our two-fer also includes a recording by former A&M artist (and current A&M co-founder’s spouse) Lani Hall, whose “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” appeared on the Windham Hill label’s compilation A Jazz Christmas.

 

As always, if you have enjoyed the tunes, pay a visit to Amazon by following our red text links above to learn more about these recordings.  Both compilations feature some nice contemporary jazz versions of popular holiday classics.
