Audio Advent Calendar #1: "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", by the Bill Evans Trio

Welcome to the first installment Accordion Guy Audio Advent Calendar! For every day from December 1st until Christmas, I’ll post a Christmas-related MP3 file for you to download and enjoy!

I’ll start this Advent calendar with a nice treatment of good ol’ Santa Claus is Coming to Town, as performed by legendary jazz pianist Bill Evans and his trio. Yes, thanks to A Charlie Brown Christmas, we all think of Vince Guaraldi when the topic of jazzy renditions of Christmas carols comes up, but cue up this track and listen to the master groove.
