Winter Sequence is a 1954 Christmas jazz album from American pianist Ralph Burns and British music critic Leonard Feather with an ad hoc ensemble of musicians, released on MGM Records.
Feather composed the tracks as a musical suite that would allow one musician per track to serve as a soloist, with the orchestra arranged by Burns. A contemporary review for Billboard called the album an "unusual" blend of jazz and pop and concludes that "jazz aficiandos will like it most". The album was released as a 10" LP, followed in 1958 by a 12" LP entitled The Swinging Seasons (catalog number E 3613) that also included Dick Hyman's "The Swingin' Seasons", "Sounds of Spring", "Summer Sequence", and "Early Autumn".
