It's the first Christmas-themed release this particular writer has come across this year, and what a welcome break it is. Here's hoping that everything we hear between now and the Big Day sounds so exquisite, a complete curveball considering what you might have expected A Charlie Brown Christmas score to sound like. But then Peanuts was always a cut above all the other cartoons.

What's here has the air of a sophisticated evening spent enjoying slow drinks in a late night jazz bar. It's sexy and refined stuff, laidback to the point where you can almost see the flames in the fireplace, resulting shadows dancing off the walls. Yes, 'Skating' is far more uptempo, and both 'Hark, The Herald Angels Sing' and 'Christmas Time Is Here' take us to school age Yuletide plays with their vocal choirs. But, on the whole, this might be the most tasteful festive album we'll get in 2021. So dig in.
