In 1990, jazz great Wynton Marsalis sat down with some spirited children and read ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. His reading was recorded and eventually posted on Vimeo. Marsalis’ camp has now shared the video on Facebook for all to enjoy. Wynton Marsalis Tentet will close the year with shows at New York’s Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola from December 26-31.
