Diana Krall – Christmas Songs (Ltd Red/Green Split Color Vinyl LP)

Diana Krall’s Christmas Songs remains one of the most elegant and timeless holiday albums of the modern jazz era. Originally released in 2005, this festive collection showcases Krall’s warm vocals and sophisticated piano playing, surrounded by lush big band arrangements from John Clayton and intimate string textures by Johnny Mandel. Produced by Tommy LiPuma and Krall herself, the album captures both swing-era charm and heartfelt seasonal spirit.

Now available on a limited edition red/green split color vinyl, this reissue breathes new life into Krall’s swinging renditions of Christmas favorites like “Jingle Bells,” “The Christmas Song,” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” With a mix of vibrant horn sections and tender ballads, Christmas Songs perfectly balances joy and nostalgia, making it an essential addition to any festive collection.
