5.0 out of 5 stars Heaven and Nature Swing, November 20, 2001

This is an excellent CD! Phil captures the spirit of Christmas and swing in a very tight and creative musical package. Phil's voice adds character to the traditional Christmas songs everyone loves. And, of-course his trumpet work is phenominal. This is a must have for any fan of swing music or anyone who is tired of the modern day reengineered and synthesized renditions of the classic Christmas fare.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes your spirit SWING, December 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Heaven & Nature Swing (Audio CD)

What a great Christmas CD! If you like Jazz and want a CD that will put you in a mellow mood while you wrap the gifts, deck the halls, trim the tree or relax in front of the fire, this is the one. It came out in 1993 and nothing that has come out since has knocked it from the No. 1 spot on my Christmas listening list. I recommended it friends who loved it so they decided to play it at their wedding reception that was three days before Christmas. It will put you in the Christmas spirit, I promise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heaven and Nature Swing hits a Homerun, December 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Heaven & Nature Swing (Audio CD)

I am continually amazed at the fact that this Christmas album is still a well kept secret. Phil Driscoll hit a homerun with Heaven and Nature Swing and more people should know about it. Driscoll masterfully updated several classics and carols in a swing/big band style. He also submitted three compositions of his own, of which "Over in Bethlemen" is particularly good (I find myself humming it in August). The mood of album slides coherently through a gentle "Greatest Love Story" to a fun, twinkle-toed "Joy to the World" to a tender "Silent Night" to the swingingest "...Merry Gentlemen" around. Driscoll's Armstrongesque, gruff baritone leads powerfully and humbly across these tunes while his clean, elegant trumpet alternatingly pulses and glides through the instrumental sections. Stuff those stockings with this one; it is definitely a great gift to give or to get
