“Snowfall” was written by Claude and Ruth Thornhill. It’s a cool jazz song, though written in 1941, long before there was such as thing as cool jazz. It’s an evocative and moody song, though quite beautiful.

The ending to Tony’s rendition of Snowfall is mesmerizing…..just fades like a gently swirling snowflake into the white landscape Classic winter’s tune,, great interpretation. .
