December Makes Me Feel This Way

by Dave Koz

Overview

Koz's holiday effort December Makes Me Feel This Way is highlighted by a pair of original compositions, the title track (co-authored by Alan Rich and Judd Friedman) and a celebration of Channukah titled "Eight Candles." In addition to traditional fare like "Sleigh Ride," "Winter Wonderland" and "The Little Drummer Boy," the collection also includes a tongue-in-cheek, coffeehouse-styled rendition of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" performed with the great comedian Phil Hartman (of Saturday Night Live and NewsRadio fame). ~ Jason Ankeny
