Editorial Review: Album Description: Skip the Christmas caroling this year and slide in the new Verve Music compilation The Very Best of Christmas Jazz. This jolly collection features fourteen of the world's favorite holiday jingles previously recorded by the legendary vocalists and musicians of jazz. Jazz divas Shirley Horn sings 'Winter Wonderland,' powerhouse singer Ella Fitzgerald performs a playful rendition of 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,' and the eloquent Dinah Washington amazes on 'Silent Night.'
