The album includes a unique mix of traditional carols and contemporary standards, highlighted by atmospheric instrumental contributions from Chris Botti and Brad Mehldau. Meticulously mastered in 2014 for the Decca label, this release provides a polished and soulful soundtrack that reflects the diverse musical spirit of New York City during the holidays.
