Free Music Review: this one's a keeper !!!
Hit: 5 Stars

Swingin' Christmas Party is a great CD of hits by many artists who were famous "back in the day." We get excellent tunes from greats including Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Fats Waller and more! The CD had room for another song or two; but what we get is such good quality I can ignore this minor issue.

Glenn Miller and His Orchestra start things right with a jazzy, swinging rendition of "Jingle Bells." While they keep the bells in the musical arrangement, the flavor is distinctly jazzy and full of that great swing sound! Great brass, too! Listen for Tex Beneke and the Modernaires to provide some updated lyrics for this awesome number.

Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra perform an electric version of the standard "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town." Cliff Weston and Edyth Wright do great vocals on this number; and although there's some surface noise this tune will make you smile! In addition, the melancholy "White Christmas" gets the royal treatment from Sammy Kaye and His Orchestra. Johnny Ryan and the Kaye Choir harmonize to perfection. "White Christmas" is one tune that doesn't feel like swing music; but it's wonderful nonetheless.

"Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers" by Larry Clinton and His Orchestra sparkles brightly. Listen, too, for Fats Waller and His Rhythm to perform a smashing rendition of "Winter Weather." Excellent! Fats plays piano on this number; and he sings beautifully.

Spike Jones and His City Slickers perform the novelty song "All I Want For Christmas Is my Two Front Teeth;" and Guy Lombardo wraps it all up nicely with his classic interpretation of "Auld Lang Syne." Very sweet.

The liner notes give us the song credits and the artwork impresses me.

Overall, this CD of Christmas tune with a swingin' style is bound to entertain you over and over again! Don't be surprised if you want to listen to this great set of numbers even next July!
