This long-anticipated recording features original arrangements of fifteen Christmas hymns and seasonal favorites, presented through an artful blend of classical influences and interpretive jazz. Styles range from classic pocket swing and light samba to waltz, half-time groove, touching ballads, gospel shuffle, up-tempo bebop, Café N’Orleans, and more. Their two sets of holiday jazz will include arrangements from their new CD, “Artfully Christmas,” including What Child is This, Counting Your Blessings, Winter Wonderland, We Three Kings, The Christmas Song, and many others, CDs will be available for purchase at the concert!
Arrangements were created by DownBeat Magazine Award-winning vocalist, composer, and arranger Lisa Kelly and by Miami/New Orleans big-band-rooted trumpeter JB Scott. The music reflects their collaborative performances from private concerts to major concert hall presentations, supported by respected Orlando multi-keyboardist Jeff Phillips, Grammy-recorded former Arturo Sandoval bassist Dennis Marks, and noted drummer Clyde Connor (U.S. Navy Commodores, ret.).

“Their attention to the beauty of the melody and meaning of every lyric is artfully balanced with truly tasteful improvisation and intimate, heartfelt expression!”
