Christmas: Jazz

Description

Christmas: Jazz combines the festive melodies of traditional Christmas music with the improvisational and swing elements of jazz. It often features smooth, laid-back arrangements with a focus on instrumental virtuosity and soulful interpretations of holiday classics.

History

Christmas: Jazz emerged as jazz musicians began to reinterpret classic Christmas songs through the lens of jazz, bringing a new, sophisticated sound to holiday music. This genre gained popularity in the mid-20th century as jazz became more mainstream and artists sought to expand their repertoire with seasonal music. The genre continues to be popular, with both classic and contemporary jazz musicians contributing to its rich catalog.
