Their first Christmas album in a career that has spanned over 25 years allows the Yellowjackets to share the holiday spirit with a world in which more holiday time-outs seem to be the best medicine for what ails our society.

Club Nocturne delivers jazzy bop, angular fusion, gospel, New Orleans second-line rhythms, smooth vocals, lush ballads and airy soundscapes. Every ...
