Moments Worth Listening For
The extended instrumental bridge in Moonlight Sleighride where the band locks into a deep, late-night groove.
The way Baker's deep alto stretches the phrasing of God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen into a soulful, bluesy meditation.
The playful, syncopated piano work on Frosty's Rag that transforms a children's song into a sophisticated jazz lounge piece.
