Resounding names can be found on this CD, such as: Johnny Mandel, Clare Fischer, Michel Legrand and Ralph Burns. The repertoire is also interesting, because in addition to the usual well-known Christmas songs, there are two of Pizzarelli's own compositions on this CD:
the title track Let's Share Christmas and Santa Claus Is Near. Besides orchestras such as The Clayton-Hamilton Orchestra, The Vangard Jazz Orchestra and The Michel Legrand Orchestra, father Bucky Pizzarelli (guitar) also collaborated on this atmospheric and swinging CD. The opener of this Christmas CD is Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow, followed by songs like White Christmas, Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, I'll Be Home For Christmas, The Christmas Song and Silent Night.
