Claude says:The Ramsey Lewis Trio's 1961 take on Christmas jazz is all chiming vibraphone and warm trio swing—the kind of record that feels like someone actually wanted to make a real jazz album that happens to be Christmas music, not the other way around. You found your way to it during the holidays two years running, leaning hardest on "Christmas Blues," which proves the season's got some minor-key melancholy worth sitting with.
