Caveat emptor. MG Thanks for the warning. I will look for audio excerpts, but probably will not mind if she's not as fine a singer as she is an organist.

Big Beat Steve Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Getting ready for preparing Xmas evening background music and believe it or not - in addition to a few swing and R&B Yuletide compilations and the Cool Yule CD by the Hot Club of San Francisco this year the "Kenton Christmas" album will figure high on the list. IMO it works surprisingly well yet I hope I won't frighten my spouse and son out of the room! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually liked that one less than I thought I would. Of the two Prestige "Holiday Soul" LPs, I prefer Bobby Timmons' version to Patterson's. If it's Christmas music played on the organ, I would recommend Barbara Dennerlein's "Christmas Soul", Jimmy Smith's "Christmas Cookin'", organissimo's Christmas downloads (if the downloads are still there) or Harry Allen's "Christmas in Swingtime". I might also say to check out Joey DeFrancesco's "Home For The Holidays", but it's only available for big bucks right now. Or you can listen on You Tube: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t necessarily have to be organ. Have you listened to the Duke Pearson one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Friedman Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 This album has my favorite version of "The Christmas Song" which is by Dexter Gordon. Though there are also 2 additional versions of that same song here. One by Eddie Lockjaw Davis and one by Gene Ammons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
