Award-winning vocalist Leslie Odom Jr. will follow up his hugely successful self-titled jazz debut with a stunning album of newly reinterpreted holiday classics entitled Simply Christmas, to be released November 11, 2016 on S-Curve Records.

The new collection will feature Odom Jr.'s soulful jazz versions of holiday Christmas gems including "I'll Be Home For Christmas," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," "The Christmas Song," "First Noel" and many more.

"I get asked about recording a Christmas album a few times a week. I hope we've made a record you'll gladly add to your collection of holiday classics," says Leslie Odom Jr. "' Simply Christmas' was a real pleasure to sing and create. It's filled with everything that is special to me about the holidays."

Odom Jr.'s self-titled debut jazz album on S-Curve Records won over critics and fans upon release this past June, and debuted at #1 on Soundscan Current and Traditional Jazz Charts.
