"Christmas Time Is Here" is a popular song was written by Vince Guaraldi for the 1965 Charlie Brown Christmas Special. Intitally the song was an instrumental but Guaraldi added the lyrics at the last minute.
Dianne Reeves (born October 23, 1956) is an American jazz singer who has been one of the leading exponents of the genre since the 1980s.
According to commentator Scott Yanow: "A logical successor to Dinah Washington and Carmen McRae (although even she cannot reach the impossible heights of Ella and Sarah Vaughan), Reeves is a superior interpreter of lyrics and a skilled scat singer."
Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

dianne reeves is another of my jazz heroines; she comes from a long line of what i've come to term the OD's, or Original Divas; you know them...billie, ella, sarah, lena, dinah, nancy. dianne reeves is the proud personification of all these legendary ladies and yet she's totally her own original stylish self. i would like to think that the divas who've passed on were still here they'd be proud to welcome dianne into the pantheon.Related Videos
