With a backing band of both a string quartet and a jazz sextet, this album  from jazz vocalist Stephanie K. provides unique versions of holiday-centric songs which have a classic sound, aided by modern recording techniques.  Her sultry, powerful vocals coupled with the combination of strings and jazz band make this album really unique, like on “The Snow is Falling,” which takes what could be a fairly standard sounding blues number and it turns into something much more sophisticated and still mournful, thanks  to the doubled cello and violin parts.  Meanwhile, the title track is a wonderfully modern jazz track, with drummer Jan Freund taking a nicely percussive, sparse approach, while Vince Guaraldi’s holiday classic “Christmas Time is Here” gets the bossa nova treatment, pleasantly echoing Pink Martini’s multi-instrumental approach to lounge jazz.
