All good things come in threes! The Bear Family team sends our own 'Season's Greetings'!
An exceptionally danceable compilation of Christmas songs from the fields of Jazz, Swing and vintage Rhythm & Blues.
Celebrate your nostalgic Christmas with 27 'Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Boogie, Jive and Easy Listening' rarities from 1935-1959. These include the two rare songs from Louis Armstrong's 1953 comedic
Decca single and the original version of Kay Starr's Waiting For The Man
With The Bag, which became famous through the Brian Setzer Orchestra!
Glenn
Miller's big-band version of Jingle Bells as well as Mario Lanza's
goose-bumps causing interpretation of Silent Night and the breathtaking
Christmas classics of the Mills Brothers and Johnny Mercer, rousing
danceable rhythms until the Christmas tree wiggles!
Also included is a rare R&B title by Thelma Cooper, who is often confused with Dolly Cooper!
A
compilation that will not only delight the fans of Swing - it is so
much more enjoyable to prepare a Christmas cake with this music playing,
and dance lovers will always get their money's worth!
After
the two previous very successful releases with Christmas songs -
'Christmas On The Countryside' (BCD17508) and 'Big City Christmas'
(BCD17509) - now follows the third part with extremely danceable grooves
from the genres of Jazz, Swing and Rhythm & Blues, compiled by the
Bear Family team. Our releases for the Christmas season obviously hit
the nerve of our friends.
The sets deliver intelligently compiled albums that offer themselves as an alternative to Xmas kitsch.
