Motley sources for a fine carol

Credit for imagination should go to Donald Moore, who arranged the Holiday Brass rendition of "God Rest Ye (listed as You on the label) Merry, Gentlemen."  Not just anyone would think to have the Kirkwood Children's Chorale singing while Robert Souza plays some freewheeling jazz trumpet, and the piano accompanist plays the rhythm from Dave Brubeck's "Take Five."  It's an unlikely blending of influences that works, giving the carol a hip yet reverential sound.
