let it snow: smooth and jazzy

I'm treading on thin ice here with a smooth jazzy version of 'Let It Snow'. This song was written in the summer of 1945 when, during a heatwave, both writers, Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne, longed for a bit of snow. Officially, it's even called 'Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!', apparently, it was so hot that they longed for a lot of snow. Vaughn Monroe was the first to record the song. Later, singers like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and more recently Michael Bublé recorded 'Let It Snow'.

This year, American musician and actor Jeff Goldblum decided to take it on. Goldblum is a reasonable skilled pianist. He also plays that role in The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra. To be a bit current and hip, the vocals are a duet between Goldblum and the young singer Veronica Swift. On the B-side of this single, they perform a duet on 'Blue Christmas'!
