Christmas Is Here was a chance for Jen to collaborate with some amazing and accomplished artists! Listen for the debut recording of Los Angeles songwriting sensation Linda Good’s “One Kiss for Christmas” (see below), a duet on “What The World Needs Now” with  The Steak House Mints founder and front man, David Sherman, an original vocal arrangement of “Christmas Time Is Here” by Chicago pianist/singer/arranger extraordinaire Mark Burnell, and gorgeous playing by my wonderful band: Vijay (piano/organ), Larry Kohut (bass), Gerald Dowd (drums), and Kraig McCreary (guitars).

Kim Revere, Amanda Wolf and Jen Zias have spent the past five years honing their harmonies and knowledge of all-things Christmas as The Jingle Belles.  This year, they are venturing out from the North Pole on their own to sing the Christmas spirit into you, one carol at a time. They still have some open dates left for 2009 so make merry and call: 773-754-8565 or eMmail: merry.janes@yahoo.com
