In 2001, she returned to the Christmas jazz roots of her first CD with "Baby It's Cold Outside", which included "Christmas Time is Here" (from "A Charlie Brown Christmas"), "Santa Baby", and the title track. Swapping cold for hot, she moved to a summer theme in 2003's "Shade", this time reinterpreting Cole Porter ("Too Darn Hot"), Irving Berlin ("Heatwave"), and The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson ("God Only Knows"). The album was named Jazz Recording of the Year at the 2004 Juno Awards.
