Bill Rudman's "A Christmas Cabaret"

For tonight's annual Christmas extravaganza, Bill Rudman has put together a show of more than 30 songs, blending Christmas standards and novelties. The set list draws heavily on Great American Songbook composers like Irving Berlin and George Gershwin. In the past, Rudman has also included "A Jazz Christmas Carol," Jerome Kern’s 1917 ragtime version of "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen." He's also likely to include a holiday song that George Gershwin composed at the age of 21 and a song that Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote in 1952. Yep, you can bring the grandparents to this gig.
