Ultra-Lounge Christmas Cocktails, Pt. 2 is a grand CD that gives us quite a few wonderful holiday time numbers from greats including Lena Horne, Dean Martin, Julie London, Peggy Lee and more! This is one Christmastime CD you're going to love! Christmastime music has always been some of my very favorite music; and the tracks on CD will tell you why.
Listen for Lena Horne's "Jingle All The Way;" her jazzy interpretation of this classic number rocks as Lena swings brightly. Great percussion, too! Julie London croons her lovely "Warm December;" and Julie never sounded better. The brass on "Warm December" helps to bolster the natural beauty of this song. In addition, I especially liked The Nat King Cole Trio singing and swinging their version of "All I Want For Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth)." The trio does a splendid job on this Christmas novelty song.
Nancy Wilson sings "The Christmas Waltz" to perfection with a lush musical arrangement; and Dean Martin takes "Baby, It's Cold Outside" and makes it a tour de force all on his own! I love that female backup for Dean's vocals on "Baby, It's Cold Outside;" and the flutes sound great. Wayne Newton belts out a very special "Jingle Bell Rock" with some mighty fine percussion and The Ventures do "Frosty The Snowman" up right with an arrangement that smacks of early rock and roll.
We also get Guy Lombardo's "Auld Lang Syne" as one of the bonus tracks. Great!
The liner notes have a fine essay by R. J. Smith; and the artwork impresses me greatly.
Overall, if you want some swingin' lounge music for your Christmas party--whether there be cocktails served or not--you truly can't afford to go without this fine CD. It's chock full of great performances and I predict you'll be listening to it over and over again.
Enjoy!

Nothing can be finer that Ultra Lounge - never a bad thing to say.Free Music Review: Some Cool, Some "Interesting" music

"Baby it's cold outside" by Dean Martin is very cool and not one you hear on the radio every year. A couple of the other ones though are way out there. One should be titled "Christmas at the roller rink" because it is classic organ music. Another is even more odd with Chrismas carols set to the old standard "Tequela" Bottom line is don't expect the usual Christmas fare and you may enjoy this CD.
