Read About This Recording
Santa's come a bit early this year, folks, and he's dropped off a Christmas Collection that is certain to be a hit. This 10-CD boxed set is sure to jazz up any holiday music collection and put a new spin on all your favorite songs and carols. Let me give you a little sneak peak at what's inside!
Jazz and blues greats like Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Benny Goodman, Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Doris Day, The Mills Brothers and even Elvis Presley are joined by Mahalia Jackson, Paul Robeson and John McCormack. And that's only the short list of heavy-hitters. Interspersed among such classic tunes as "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear," "Silver Bells" (compare Bing Crosby to Doris Day!) or "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" are some lesser-known, but equally enjoyable tunes.
All in all, there's something on this 10-CD set for everyone and every mood this holiday season … whether you've been naughty or nice!
