Christmas for Lovers

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

One more in the Verve For Lovers serie, purpose of which being obviously to try attract a younger/more-lovable public to jazz :]
Good material, decent packaging, that's a good pick for casual listeners looking for some jazz to put into their christmas.
The others (jazz afficionados) are not even reading this anyhow.
