DESCRIPTION:
This arrangement by the incredible Yasko Kubota makes this song fun to listen to year round. Warren Grant, Archie Kubota, Ricardo Monzon and Yasko Kubota swingin hard and I am trying to hold my own. I was also choked up and honored to do "This Christmas" with one of the late Donny Hathaway 's daughters. I always loved her voice and contageous smile . She is now THE first called backing vocalist in Hollywood. I got to meet the writer of this song. This is the first time it was done as a duet. Thank you Kenya ! On a trip to LA I went to a play and was seated next to a very elegant Black women. Turns out she was Nadine Mckinner the lyricist for "This Christmas." Nothing is by accident.
