Christmasy music – Arne Domnérus and John Coltrane

I’m hearing a lot of complaints about Christmas music from people around  me. So here’s a two great jazz albums for that cozy, candlelit mood, without the jinglebells.
Jazz is overall pretty christmasy but this two albums especially.
John Coltrane Quartet “Ballads” from 1963.

If you’re into jazz you probably know the Swedish jazz-wonder Arne Domnérus. If not- you’re welcome, here he is.
This album is a little bit more up tempo then Coltrane.
It’s Arne Domnérus’ Diamanter.
Listen to it on Spotify via this link.
Did not find this album on Youtube. I did however find this wonderful track “Karl-Bertil Jonssons Julafton“, it’s played in a Swedish Christmas show, that’s shown every Christmas Eve.

It’s also on Spotify.

 

I know you can’t control what they play in shops, at your work or on the radio. But when possible tune in to Spotify and listen to some jazz.
