5.0 out of 5 stars A Fabulous Mood Setting Album!, November 28, 1999

By

This review is from: Yule B Swingin (Audio CD)

Last year this was the holiday cd I kept in my car. Everyone who heard it wanted to know either 1) where I got it 2) could I pick one up for them or 3) if I would let them borrow it. Well, needless to say, I hung on to it. This year I bought a pile of them to give as gifts. Regardless if you're a notch baby, a boomer, or a GenXer - if you're an American living in the 20th Century, you've got to love Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Glenn Miller, Les Brown, and Pete Fountain. This cd doesn't just swing...it rocks !

4.0 out of 5 stars Swings Better Than Most, November 30, 2001

By 

Donald Beale - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yule B Swingin (Audio CD)

Many of the Christmas albums the proclaim themselves swing seem either to include a few swing numbers mixed in with other styles or simply feature mediocre selections; this one lives up to its name and includes many better-than-average tracks. Louis Prima's "What Will Santa Claus Say . . ." starts things off on the right track with the real thing and plenty of fun. Satch's "Cool Yule" is classic. The "Jingle Bells" featured here is the better of the two Glenn Miller versions that float around. Can you go wrong with Ella Fitzgerald? A few of these selections pop up on dozens of compilations (Satcho's, Ella's, and Deano's numbers), but there are some pleasant surprises here, too. In particular, Pete Fountain's "Medley" is a delight and swings with the best of them. If you're lookin' to swing this holiday, this is probably the CD to get.

5.0 out of 5 stars Swingin' Holiday Hits, October 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Yule B Swingin (Audio CD)

The previous reviewer from Finland was pretty harsh with their review. Unless you don't understand this American swing music as well as these versions of top Christmas songs, you should find them very enjoyable indeed. In fact, I myself liked this collection so much I would love to see a volume 2 come along in the near future. You don't have to get up & dance to them, but they're a guaranteed hit if you put this on at your next holiday gathering or office party. Enjoy & may all your Christmas dreams come true.
