Fourplay's first Christmas album Snowbound features traditional and contemporary holiday songs, all performed in the supergroup's popular smooth jazz style. Their renditions of "Angels We Have Heard on High," "Away in a Manger," "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," and "The Christmas Song" -- which also features vocals by Eric Benet -- combine the best of Fourplay's style with vibrant holiday spirit.
