The album also features an array of original compositions, showing Amanda's deep love for Christmas and her Welsh heritage. With influences from artists like Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane, this release radiates a cosy, soulful vibe, perfect for holiday gatherings. It's a true celebration of Amanda's musical talents and passions, offering a delightful blend of festive jazz and classical influences. A perfect addition to any holiday playlist.
