Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson has written several Christmas songs, and he’s also given many traditional carols new, jazzy arrangements that show off the band’s chops. This is one he played in concert for many years before recording it in 2003 for Tull’s “A Christmas Album.”
That album, the last studio effort from the band, featured new versions of some old favorites, including a new arrangement of “Bourée,” Anderson’s arrangement of the fifth movement from Bach’s Suite in E minor for Lute.
