What Child Is This – Vanessa Williams

Every once in a while, Christmas gets a little jazzy. While this usually happens when a jazz musician creates an instrumental of a popular Christmas carol, this one is a little different. Vanessa Williams goes from pop to jazz in this version of What Child is This infused with hints of Carol of the Bells.

According to Wikipedia, this song was written during a time the author was bedridden and depressed. Although that is never a state anyone wants to be in, I think sometimes our greatest gifts come from the times we are holding on to faith and hope the hardest – and our attempts to remind ourselves of what we still have can be the greatest inspiration to others.
