[2026] A Special Feature on Classic Western Songs to Listen to in December! (61–70)
Autumn LeavesBill Evans Trio
Bill Evans, known as an innovator of jazz piano, delivers a piece with a haunting melody that vividly evokes autumn scenes.
Recorded in 1959 for the album “Portrait in Jazz,” this work showcases Evans’s delicate touch and the trio’s exquisite ensemble interplay.
The lyrics, which conjure images of falling leaves and lost love, make it perfect for the increasingly cold days of December.
It’s recommended not only for jazz fans but also for those who enjoy a mellow, introspective mood.
This piece also makes an ideal soundtrack for a quiet evening by the window.
Let It SnowBoyz II Men
When you hear “Let It Snow,” many people might think of the jazz song sung by Frank Sinatra.
In the United States, “Let It Snow” often brings to mind either Frank Sinatra’s track or the one by Boyz II Men.
Of course, they’re completely different songs, and the Boyz II Men version is crafted into high-quality R&B.
It’s a classic Christmas song from Boyz II Men, who are often hailed as one of the top a cappella groups in the world.
Be sure to check it out!
Let It Snow ft. Brian McKnightBoyz II Men
This is a track featured on the American male vocal group Boyz II Men’s album “Christmas Interpretations,” released on September 29, 2014, and it features fellow American singer Brian McKnight.
With a melody and arrangement that conjure up scenes of gently falling snow, it’s a song perfect for listening to during the cold days of December.
Christmas Time Is HereBrian McKnight
For those who love Black music, I highly recommend “Christmas Time Is Here.” It’s sung by Brian McKnight, an American R&B singer who has enjoyed long-lasting popularity.
His vocal ability is top-tier, and his use of whispery ad-libs is so refined that few can match him.
The harmony in the intro feels incredibly Christmassy, so be sure to check it out!
Calling All My LoveliesBruno Mars
A track included on singer Bruno Mars’s third album, 24K Magic, released on September 18, 2016, by the Hawaii-born American artist.
True to his claim that 95% of music is about love, this song portrays the push and pull and the heartache of romance, making it a perfect fit for the hectic mood of December.
