Kat Edmonson

Jazz vocalist Kat Edmonson is my second one-time Houstonian, and we talk about Christmas where it's warm among other things. The occasion for our conversation is her second Christmas album, Have Your Merry Christmas with Me, and we talk about how and why she knew she would revisit Christmas music when she recorded her first--Holiday Swingin'! (A Kat Edmonson Christmas Vol. 1) in 2021. We also talk about her love of Allan Toussaint and her holiday tour among other things.

In the episode, I also mention Olivia Rodrigo's "Take Me Home (4 Christmas)," Sufjan Stevens' Worst Christmas Ever, and my episode breaking down Sufjan Stevens' Christmas music with Chris Marchand.
