Marcus Roberts: Prayer for Peace.

It's been a while since I've listened, but he's always impressive and stylish. For that I change my signature.

Fats Waller did an excellent version of Jingle Bells.

Try some Christmas pieces by Dan Coates.  He uses jazz chords quite a lot.

His arrangements are available in both intermediate and advanced ranges.

His arrangements are quite popular.  Most music stores should have some.
