Recorded in 2004, Winter Jazz 3 is a vibrant addition to the Tall Jazz library, born from the success of the ensemble’s popular annual holiday concerts. This installment features the powerful vocals of Marilyn Keller alongside an expanded lineup that includes a three-part horn section, auxiliary percussion, and background vocals. The album showcases unique, jazz-infused holiday arrangements, ranging from a soulful rendition of "Joyful, Joyful" and the rhythmic "Brazilian Sleighbells" to seasonal staples like "The First Noel" and "The Christmas Song."
