Southside Aces: Christmas in New Orleans

The Southside Aces have been playing holiday shows for twenty years. They play favorites, lesser-knowns, even originals! When you put holiday tunes through the New Orleans jazz filter, you make Yuletide haters love, and lovers love more!

“Can you play Christmas music successfully in a New Orleans ensemble style? The answer is a resounding yes! This is great trad jazz…but also evokes a flood of Christmas feelings from the melancholy to the gay.”
— Syncopated Times review of Southside Aces Christmas album, Santaphone
