I already have the GRP collection (I, II and III) and recently bought some Christmas songs played to Latin and Cuban jazz rhythms. Now that WILL perk you up!
Anyone else like that kind of Christmas music? What are some good songs or albums?|||Do you have Diana Krall Christmas Songs? If not then you should since you like jazz. iTunes has an abbreviated version of the album - 7 songs instead of the entire 12 if you buy the CD. Of course you also need to have "Santa Baby" by Eartha Kitt. My favorite Christmas album is The Christmas Attic by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. If you鈥檇 like something a bit mellow check check out Holiday Guitar by Dan Crary.
Have a wonderful and Happy Christmas!|||Is "Jingle Bell Jazz." You will find on Amazon a few people bemoaning the fact that the track listing does not quite stack up to a previously released LP of the same title, but I didn't own that LP so this compiliation seems great to me. Other than Mel Torme, a lot of the names on this album don't jump right out at you, but it's real, old school Jazz. Very cool, very mellow, very nice...and relatively inexpensive too.
Another one I have is "Verve Presents: Very Best of Christmas Jazz" is very good too.
As far as Jazz Vocalists go, my family was always a fan of Ella Fitzgerald and "Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas" bring back wonderful memories for me. That gets played every year too.
Good luck with finding some new stuff. There's a lot out there to choose from.|||The lighting of the Christmas tree at the Rockefeller Center ... Harry Connick Jr. was playing some songs of his new Christmas album. Even his daughter is singing now.....
Check it out this link will play that CD by Columbia:
