Thomas flexes her arrangement prowess on Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime” with a swinging big band sound that leaves you in high spirits.  Charlie Brown’s “Christmas Time Is Here” is a sultry bossa nova, featuring Leandro Pellegrino on guitar, inspired by the feel of Elis Regina and Carlos Jobim. “It’s Magic” inspires us to dream of magical love.

Lastly, Terry Roche’s “Star of Wonder” blends the intimate stylings of Di Martino(p) Smith(d) and Thomas as they round out this beautiful tune into an almost haunting melodic sound.
