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.

Don't think it is on you tube.

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.
