Best Christmas Jazz Songs

Christmas is tomorrow. O! Where did the time go? 

And what better way to usher in the holiday season than with a list of incredible jazz songs. Jazz and Christmas have had a long, symbiotic relationship together. Ever since stars like Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, and Etta James (to name a few) began releasing their Christmas classic hits back in the 50s, Jazz and Christmas have always gone hand in hand.

Below is a list of some popular and lesser known jazz songs that will (hopefully) brighten your day.
