GA Russell Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 Is the Guaraldi colored vinyl? No, it's black vinyl from 1984. No indication of a remastering. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 You've got a lamp post on your front lawn! :g MG Yes! I have the only gas-lit lamplight in the neighborhood (but you'd hardly notice 'cause I have to clean the glass - after I change the two mantles inside). I have a sneaking suspicion that your statement has some kind of meaning that I'm missing... No - I was just really surprised. I couldn't tell it was gas-lit. Even more surprised. Isn't the street lighting very good where you are? MG Quote
Uncle Skid Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 Richard Cheese - Silent Nightclub "America's loudest lounge singer Richard Cheese performs swingin' Vegas versions of rock, rap, and Top40 hits, "swankifying" contemporary songs into traditional pop vocal standards. "Slient Nightclub" features with 14 all-new swingin' holiday hits to make your season tight!" Mr. Cheese is sort of like "Weird Al" -- but instead of changing the lyrics, he sings in a "lounge" style. Amusing, but the coolest part: his band swings like hell! Lots of fun. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 (edited) I'm in trouble! I've been looking through my collection for Christmas albums and I can only find 11. I'm sure I have more than this, but I can't remember any more. And some of those I only got by doing word searches through my database (I don't have Christmas records classified separately). I've done word searches for "christmas", "xmas", "noel", "carol", "happy" and have only turned those up. Any ideas for other word searches I can try? MG Well, just in case I can't find any others, I've ordered the Al Grey. Edited December 1, 2006 by The Magnificent Goldberg Quote

GA Russell Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 I broke out my Christmas cassettes today. As many of you will remember, in the 80s and 90s (before stations came up with the all-Christmas format for the month of December) it was common for oldies stations to devote to Christmas music the entire evening of the Sunday before Christmas and all day 6:00 pm Christmas Eve to 6:00 pm Christmas Day. I often made tapes of the shows, and now have 12 cassettes of them! In regard to pre-recorded tapes, I played today: Various - Rhythm & Blues Christmas (King) Perry Como - Sings Merry Christmas Music Various - Mr. Santa's Boogie (Savoy) (This is a tape I made for the car of an LP I have. Somewhere along the line the LP was separated from all my other Christmas LPs, and now I can't find it! It's packed away somewhere. It includes Bird's recording of White Christmas.) Various - Merry Christmas Baby (King) Charles Brown - Sings Christmas Songs (King/Gusto) (Same album, original title as the Brown album mentioned above.) Stan Kenton - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Capitol) (Same album, different title as the Kenton mentioned above.) Various - Legends of Christmas Past (EMI) Quote

GA Russell Posted December 21, 2006 Report Posted December 21, 2006 The Yellowjackets - Peace Round I was given this one. It's OK for background music, but not really very good IMO. Quote

Peter Friedman Posted December 21, 2006 Report Posted December 21, 2006 Joe Pass - Six String Santa - LaserLight Quote
Ted O'Reilly Posted December 21, 2006 Report Posted December 21, 2006 Given there's a lot of tradition involved with Christmas, I like 'traditional jazz' things like "Christmas with the New Black Eagle Jazz Band" (Daring Records CD 3025); and the old LP by The World's Greatest Jazz Band (led by Yank Lawson and Bob Haggart) "Hark The Herald Angels Swing" (World Jazz WJLP-S-2). You ain't heard nuttin' if you ain't heard Vic Dickenson and Gus Johnson sing Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer! Quote
