Personnel: Diana Krall (vocals, piano); Russell Malone, Anthony Wilson (guitar); Stefon Harris (vibraphone); John Clayton, Robert Hurst, Ben Wolfe (double bass); Jeff Hamilton (drums). On 2005’s CHRISTMAS SONGS, Diana Krall applies her sultry vocals and nuanced piano lines to a strong set of holiday classics. In addition to turning in a stirring performance of ˝The Christmas Song˝ that would make Nat ˝King˝ Cole proud, Krall eases into a swaying version of ˝Winter Wonderland˝ and a lush rendition of ˝Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.˝ With its dynamic arrangements and pitch-perfect mix of pop and jazz, this album stands alongside other timeless Yuletide outings.
