Although containing just 10 tracks, which is skimpy by today's standards, this does provide you with over 33 minutes of some of the best jazz/blues Christmas tunes ever recorded, selected for the album by Dan Storper. In addition, it comes in a nice fold-out cardboard jewel case with thumbnail sketches on each artist/selection in English, Spanish and French, written by Roger Hahn, and with a catchy cover and CD graphic designed by Nicola Heindl.

There is also a re-listing of the tracks showing the songwriters and original albums from which they were culled, a link to the Putumayo World Music website, and an album discography of their various compilations to date, with reproductions of the covers.

The sound quality is perfect. Just a perfect inexpensive addition to any Christmas music collection.

A great selection. To our ears better than the New Orleans Christmas but both are great!

I got one for myself and loved it, got another for a gift. It is a festive CD and great to listen to around Christmas! Loved it.

This CD offers a unique take on Christmas songs. Great to use during dinner parties.

I've been a big fan of Putamayo compilations for quite some time. I don't know if they coined the term "world music" but I think they've done a great job in popularizing the mega-genre. Whoever sifts through the music and makes the choices for each compilation does, on the whole, an excellent job of choosing selections that - as music critics like to say - are accessible to unsophisticated ears such as mine. BTW - if you aren't aware of the Putamayo music, check out Putamayo World Music online at: www.putumayo.com.

Bought this CD last year and began playing it again a week ago. Still couldn't be happier with it. If you like a little jazzy bluesy vibe for Christmas, you can't go wrong with this CD. Highly recommended!
