Gregory Porter hosts a seasonal cocktail of music with a festive flavour. He is joined by special guests: singer-songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae, musical phenomenon Jacob Collier, legendary British saxophonist Courtney Pine, and one of the UK’s best-loved jazz singers, Clare Teal.

Featuring standards from the Great American Songbook, together with a carol or two, and some of Gregory’s personal favourites, the performances include Merry Christmas Baby, Silent Night, Take Me to the Alley and The Christmas Song. Filmed in an intimate jazz club setting in Cardiff Bay, Merry Christmas Baby has all the ingredients of a joyful winter warmer - the perfect offering for a mellow Christmas night.
