Dianne Reeves - Christmas Time is Here
A lot of Christmas albums feature phoned-in performances, but jazz singer Reeves brings a convincing presence to such yuletide nuggets as “Let it Snow” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” Her slow, syncopated take on “Little Drummer Boy” ranks among the best ever recorded of that seasonal classic. And, having toured with Sergio Mendes and previously covered songs by Dori Caymmi and Antonio Carlos Jobim, it’s no surprise that Reeves would add a tasty Brazilian samba groove to “Christmas Waltz.”
