Many of the melodies and choral harmonies that catapulted the quartet from the streets of Newark into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are woven into classic holiday songs on 'Season's Greetings'.
Listen for hints of "Come On Marianne" and "Oh What A Night" in the album opener "Joy To The World/O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" plus traces of "Bye Bye Baby" in "Winter Wonderland."
For Jersey Boys' first Christmas on Broadway in 2006, the cast recorded "O Holy Night" for a Christmas album to benefit Broadway charities. This album features a new version of that song with a fresh arrangement that includes lines from the spiritual, "Rise Up, Shepherd."
Other highlights include a doo-wop version of "White Christmas" inspired by The Drifters, and "Santa Medley" which infuses signature Jersey Boys harmonies into a trio of holiday favorites.
Also featured is a unique version of "Angels From The Realms Of Glory" filtered through '80s synth-rock with a touch of Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony" thrown in for good measure.
