Sometimes it hits you while flipping through an old photo album. Other times it’s the smell of something baking in the oven or the moment you hang an ornament on the tree. Whatever the trigger, eventually you find yourself saying, “OK, now it feels like Christmas.”
Ginger Commodore and friends bring you a fresh take on holiday music with a mix of Christmas classics and originals, all reimagined with R&B, soul, funk and gospel flair. Enjoy favorites like “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” “My Favorite Things,” “This Christmas,” “Mary Did You Know,” “Let It Snow” and more, along with original songs filled with smooth grooves, jazz riffs and rich harmonies. It’s Christmas with a whole lot of soul!
