Merry Christmas everyone. This is our jazzier take on Mel Torme’s The Christmas Song.

The vocals are a bit rough in the beginning especially. But Lenny Lee convinced me to stop relying so much on Melodyne, and I was reminded of a statement by Glyn once that said if you have a choice between vocal performance and vocal accuracy always go for the performance. I was afraid that too much tweaking in Melodyne would detract from the performance that my 17-year old daughter gave.

Well how great is it to be able to record with your daughter! I’m not hearing pitch problems, especially on a jazzy song like that.
Recording with family…nice!
All the best to you Larry for 2018.
