Check your calendar and you’ll notice that, right about now, we are deep in the midst of another holiday season. And you know what that means: It’s time to be sonically assaulted by a nonstop barrage of Christmas music.

Of course, listening to seasonal tunes doesn’t have to be a bad thing. The crew over at the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, for example, is serving up a cool take on X-mas tracks with the latest installment of their Jazz at the Bechtler series.

Going down tonight (Dec. 2), the event features the fan-favorite Ziad Jazz Quartet playing jazz-flavored renditions of "Frosty the Snowman," "The Christmas Song," "Winter Wonderland" and other holiday classics. They're also promising to lay down a performance of John Coltrane's version of “Greensleeves” — and much more.

Folks interested in going should take note, though: This event has a habit of getting packed. So, come early. Jazz at the Becthler is free with admission to the Bechtler (located at 420 S. Tryon St.) and runs from 6 p.m.-8 p.m. For more information or to purchase/reserve tickets, visit the Bechtler’s website or call 704-353-9200.

And to get your holiday motor running, take a listen to Coltrane’s “Greensleeves” below:
