Dave Koz & Friends - The 25th Of December (2014) [Official Digital Download 24-bit/96kHz]

Smooth jazz saxophonist Dave Koz gathers a bevy of big-name guests on his holiday album, "The 25th of December". This is a warm-hearted and laid-back album full of traditional songs, standards, and a few contemporary originals. Joining Koz here are such artists as Kenny G, Jonathan Butler, India.Arie, Johnny Mathis, Trombone Shorty, and others.

Nothing sets the tone for the holidays better than the music - it's why we love hearing these songs, year after year. They're more than just notes or lyrics - the songs become guideposts of our lives…reminders of Christmases past, of special moments spent with family and friends - they can return us to childlike innocence and jog our memories back to simpler times.

This album was made with that spirit in mind…an abundance of love and joy went into every single note. May the music infuse your holidays with love and light, happiness and peace…a welcoming embrace of comfort and warmth to accompany you all year long.
