Query: Mellow, smooth holiday tunes

Will Downing's 2004 Christmas effort "Christmas, Love and You" is a really nice album to have around for the holidays. Over the course of ten tracks, Downing offers contemporary takes on yuletide classics as well as some welcome originals. A veteran of the R&B and contemporary jazz scenes, Downing has a really pleasant, mature voice and a tried-and-true approach to his art. Light guitars, piano, and percussion punctuate most of the arrangements, and many songs feature jazz sax solos as well. The whole tracklist is extremely likable, soft and easygoing to the ears yet appealing melodically. The originals are my favorite tracks: the title track is a great ballad, "Christmas Time After Time" is a heartfelt winner, and my favorite is his "All I Want for Christmas Is You," a funky and upbeat party jam. "The First Noel," "White Christmas," and "Christmas Time Is Here" also provide highlights. I definitely recommend "Christmas, Love and You" for holiday listening.
