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.
