A Jazz Piano Christmas 2025 – But not at the Kennedy Center
For more than three decades, “A Jazz Piano Christmas” at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. has been a quiet highlight of the holiday season for jazz and piano lovers.

The 3rd was the first I ever heard, and I loved it; but after hearing the 1st, I'm loving that one just as much!

Would like to hear the 2nd and 4th.

Each has its own merits. It's sacrilege to compare them.
