The collection of 12 original tracks includes Batiste’s collaboration with Aloe Blacc on “Endless Love”— a holiday favorite last winter. This season, he leads with track no. four, “Winter Wonderland” featuring Jason Marsalis. Jon reveals the feeling behind the song, stating, “At its best, there’s an enchanting aura to the Christmas season, and “Winter Wonderland” captures it: the glistening snow and the glittering lights of the city, or the crackle of the fireplace in a small country town. Creating this recording was a joy for me and I hope it translates to you and yours.”
