Christmas Countdown #12

Winter Wonderland by Dave Brubeck

      I only feels right to have Dave Brubeck in my list. I love jazz that's led by the piano and Brubeck is one of the best! So he must make the list. It only feels right, especially with the timing of his recent passing away. His entire Christmas album is great. This song in particular though swings and transitions  b/w three phases: traditional, smooth as it sounds like he just scratches the keys back and forth and awesomeness comes out, and of course, bouncy.  It's the bouncy sections that pick your mood up and it's the smooth sections that will wow you if you have a critical ear.

     If you had any sort of background music for a Christmas office party or something, I think you'd want this song playing as well as a few others from this same album. The countdown is on!
