Ok, this may not be everyone's (read: anyone's) idea of a Christmas song, but I wanted to highlight a BIAB feature that I think is really great. I will admit that I had no idea that this was a Christmas song until I looked into it. I've had a version of it on it on my Christmas playlist for years by this cat named Rick Modlin, and whenever it comes up I have to: A) stop what I'm doing to listen to it, because it is just so good B) remind myself to get it off of the playlist because it is not a Christmas song Well, it turns out that it IS a famous and ancient Christmas song, and it has been covered by everyone from Linda Ronstadt to Sting. This is a trio using: Terry Clark RD=JazzTerryClark02-Brushes Neil Swainson 1392 Jazz Ballad Sw 060 (very Simple) I will tell you that it is NOT POSSIBLE to do a song like this without the very simple bass playing feature that was introduced. Very innovative, and when you need it... well you need it. Lo, How A Rose E'er Blooming Backstory and lyrics Lo, How A Rose E'er Blooming Blog

Nice job. Another song I've never heard until now.

Ken,
Really nice! Very rich sound, and good piano work. Beautiful relaxing song. Didn't know it was a Christmas song either.

Hi Ken
Nice, sensitive jazz arrangement.
What is the piano that you used in the recording?
Enjoyed the chord inversions in the left-hand, and mixture of nice bright single-key melody really works well.
Thanks for the listen

Thank you everyone for the kind comments! Videotrack- this is a Schimmel 120J acoustic upright piano. Not a high-end model by any stretch, but it seems to record well on this little Zoom recorder that I use.

Hi, Ken !:))
It is a very beautiful tune
very sensitively and softly played
by you ! I think you really are
IN the tune when playing it !!!
I got tears in my eyes thinking
of Christmases gone by together
with my beloved late wife Beni !
Cheers
Dani

Nice production. Enjoyed the listen and learning about the tune. And, yep, I love that "simple" and "very simple" feature as it makes the jazz bass work very well with our blues efforts. Thanks again for posting this one.
