A beautiful, beautiful jazz rendition of the Christmas carol composed by Adolphe Adam. This is taken from the Christmas episode of Aaron Sorkin's ill-fated TV series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. The episode focuses on the production team of Studio 60 attempting to make a Christmas themed show, without becoming too phony-LA. During the episode, which is set just a few months after hurricane Katrina, the in house band call in sick, allowing the musicians of New Orleans to take their places at a time when they need work the most.
Unfortunately for Sorkin, the series was cancelled after it was plagued by a mid-season slump in rating and , but it has always been a favourite of mine
This is one of the most moving moment in the show and beautifully executed. Even with dessicated coconut snow.
