O’s Notes: Our advice for Holiday music is to start with your favorite artists and genres. If they take the time to marry their style with the classics, an enriching performance is possible. Such is the case with jazz vocalist Kurt Elling’s latest take on Christmas. It’s a performance that could be enjoyed all twelve months and highlighted during December. There are 55 minutes with fourteen classics recreated to Kurt’s style. Well done.
