'Christmastime Is Here' from Lena Prima adds a special glow to Christmas music

Songstress Lena Prima swings Christmas with her newly released album, ”Christmastime is Here.” In collaboration with pianist/composer/arranger Lawrence Sieberth, she gives a freshness to familiar songs which makes them feel new. Prima continues to solidify her position in the music world.

 

Listeners will find themselves transported back to the innocent magic of the Peanuts world and the Charlie Brown Christmas classic with her cool rendition of Christmas Time is Here. Can you picture Schroeder at his piano as Prima delivers the lyrics?
