All That Christmas Jazz by Cypress Creek Jazz Band - Review

The Cypress Creek Jazz Band covers all the classics with their New Orleans ragtime-style jazz ensemble, and each tune is bombastically joyful to listen to. It’s not hard to get lost within the rhythms and playful instrumentations when the entire band sounds like they're having so much fun redefining these time-honored tracks.
Whether you play it at a party or in a smaller setting, these (mostly) instrumental tracks will transport you to Bourbon Street at Christmas-time. “Nutcracker” is especially jolly, “Santa Baby” knocks your cozy socks off with guest vocals by Jeanine Meyers, and “North Pole Street Parade” will you have you dancing in the living room and is the perfect end to a holiday album you must add to your rotation.
