This is an upgrade to an earlier Carla Bley Christmas show. The previous show was posted in MP3 224kbps, this one is in Flac and includes 3 bonus tracks from a 2008 performance. If you haven't heard Carla's Christmas Carols then you really should download this show. Carla makes great use of the Brass section, even using tuba, French horn and flugelhorn to achieve a nice range of instrumental voices. This show is in as heavy of a Holiday Playlist rotation as Trans-Siberian Orchestra (that's huge, TSO is big with my family!). Rosebud even asks for it to be played, so you know it's not an Avant-Garde Jazz event. It's easily digestible by even the slightest of Jazz fans.
