"Holiday Inn & White Christmas"

Bing Crosby
Audio CD: FDO 1954-10-14
Label: Universal Records
"Unique collection by this clutch of definitive vocalists' well known material; includes Bing Crosby's universally popular 1952 version of "White Christmas." German import.
First off let me say that I have not purchased this album/cd. I have however purchased the album/cd Holiday Inn and White Christmas individually and this album/cd contains the exact same songs as the two individual albums/cd's.
I am a big fan of both movies and have loved these songs for years. The songs from Holiday Inn have Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire performing them and they sound just like the songs from the film. Marjorie Reynolds who sang along with Crosby and Astaire in the film is not on the album and while it would have been nice to have her participate her absence does not hinder the listening experience. My personal favorite song is "You're Easy To Dance With". This song is not as easy to find as the more traditional songs such as "White Christmas", "Easter Parade" and "Happy Holiday" and makes the purchase of the cd worth the price by itself.
The songs from White Christmas are the exact same songs from the White Christmas album. The order has been slightly changed. On the Album the songs follow the order they were sung in the movie but on this album/cd a few songs were moved around. I prefer the songs in the order they appeared in the film but that's a minor flaw. Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Trudy Stevens (who voiced over Vera Ellen's voice for the movie) all participate in this album/cd but Rosemary Cloony is replaced by Peggy Lee. Rosemary Clooney could not participate due to contract issues between her label and the soundtracks label. While Rosemary Clooney is missed Peggy Lee fills in wonderfully. While I like every song from the WC movie I most enjoy the songs "Snow" and "The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing".
Chances are if you like either one of these movies you will love this album/cd. All songs are by Irving Berlin and are great fun to sing to. Enjoy!......at 320.0 kb/sec!"

"Have Yourself A Jazzy Little Christmas"

Various Artists
Audio CD: FDO 1989-10-30
Label: Verve
"There's something for everyone on this wonderfully eclectic recording, which ranges from Oscar Peterson's almost lullaby-like piano on "A Child is Born" to Bill Evans's jazzy piano improvisations (overdubbed) on "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," and Sister Rosetta Tharpe's "O, Little Town of Bethlehem," a full-out, hand-clapping, rocking and stomping Gospel song. Containing both vocals and instrumentals, with arrangements which vary from softly sweet to full-out wailing, this CD is full of delightful surprises to keep the Christmas repertoire fresh.
Three of the songs here feature Ella Fitzgerald. "The Secret of Christmas" and "White Christmas," both of which she sings "pure," are soft, slow ballads filled with sweetness, while "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," with its quick beat, provides a jazzy close-out for the album. Dinah Washington's "Ole Santa" and "Silent Night" take the opposite tack from Ella, as she sings with strength and verve--and absolutely no sweetness! Billie Holiday's "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm," not exactly a Christmas song, features solos by the great Benny Carter on clarinet and Sweets Edison on muted trumpet.
Roland Kirk's "We Free Kings," the most highly improvised song on the album, features Kirk on flute and wailing sax, accompanied by an insistent drumbeat. And my favorite--Jimmy Smith's "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" is the greatest version of this song I've ever heard, opening with jazz tuba and drums (and sounding like giants walking), then introducing trumpets and a wonderful Smith organ solo, which soars into the stratosphere. A terrific album for the jazz lover at Christmas time, this CD showcases some of the pioneers of American jazz.
Very nice CD. Multiple songs are very jazzy played, even in such way that I could not recognize them at first instance. Very good.Christmas with the jazz legends. A great compilation and perfect for your christmas celebration. Enjoy the classics! Enjoy!......at 320.0 kb/sec!"

"The Spirit Of Christmas"

Ray Charles
Audio CD: FDO 1986-09-02
Label: Rhino Records
"This is Ray Charles. Need I say more. He was the best, most complete musician of our time. He pushed rock and roll along in its pure infancy. He mixed gospel and blues to create soul music when there was none. He mixed country and soul and blues as he crossed all the lines that had not been crossed. This album is an example of him putting the jazz touches on Christmas classics and some new songs, at the time, as well. You can hear some of it on the soundtrack from When Harry Met Sally. (Walking In A Winter Wonderland). It's classic Ray Charles. What more could you want. Enjoy!......at 320.0 kb/sec!"

"A Merry Mancini Christmas"

Henry Mancini
Audio CD: FDO 1966-10-25
Label: RCA Records
"Mancini recorded over 90 albums, in styles ranging from big band to classical to pop. Eight of these albums were certified gold by The Recording Industry Association of America. He had a 20 year contract with RCA Records, resulting in 60 commercial record albums that made him a household name composer of easy listening music. Mancini's range also extended to orchestral and ethnic scores, and darker themes. Mancini was also a concert performer, conducting over fifty engagements per year, resulting in over 600 symphony performances during his lifetime. Among the symphony orchestras he conducted are the London Symphony Orchestra, the Israel Philharmonic, the Boston Pops, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Carol For Another Christmas (written by Henry Mancini) is a masterpiece which provokes thoughts of future Christmases. A very moving piece of music. All the music on this album is excellent, but Carol For Another Christmas is 5 Stars. Enjoy!......at 320.0 kb/sec!"

"The Christmas Song"

Nat "King" Cole
Audio CD: FDO 1963-09-27
Label: Capitol / EMI Records
"How can you not love Nat "King" Cole's classic Christmas release? From the first note to the last, it just drips with memories of Christmases past. Of course, it does help that I grew up listening to it.
It opens with the title song, which was introduced to the world by Nat. While I enjoy other renditions, this version is definitely a classic. While every song is wonderful, standouts for me are the songs I don't have as often in my Christmas music collection. "Deck the Hall," "O Tannenbaum" (Yes, recorded in German.), "I Saw Three Ships," and "Caroling, Caroling" are included in this group. And I have to make special note of "A Cradle in Bethlehem." This musical version of the Christmas story is very touching. I wish more artists would record it.
Having listened to this album every Christmas I can remember, it just wouldn't be Christmas without it. Even now, listening to it makes me think of dark winter nights, decorating the tree, and wrapping presents. It has a special place in my collection, and I'm sure it will in yours as well.
