Title: Swings Better Than Most
Product review: 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.
