By popular demand... You roll up on the North Pole in a red '56 Cadillac. You sport red tweed vines, red suede shoes, a white mink tie and sing those "Arctic Basin Street Blues." Then you're greeted by a swingin' combo of elves in red pork-pie hats, and that's when you know there's only one place you can be—a Wynton Wonderland—a world where joyous music meets comic storytelling. Wynton Marsalis, Wycliffe "Pinecone" Gordon, Wess "Warmdaddy" Anderson, Victor Goines, Joe Temperley, "Papa" Don Vappie, Reginald Veal, Dan Nimmer, Herlin Riley and Roberta Gumbel rile the reindeer with new arrangements of holiday classics swung with Crescent City style. Bells, baby. Bells.
