Christmas Party - Holiday Piano Spiked With Swing by Dave Mckenna - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

This collection of piano interpretations of Christmas favorites is a fine addition to the collections of fans of Dave McKenna. Highlights include a fun version of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," "Snowbells," and "Adeste Fideles." Not satisfied to merely plunk out familiar melodies, McKenna actually infuses these songs with creative flair and interesting flourishes that distinguish this album from the flood of other Christmas releases.
