Santa Swings! Thursday, October 21, 2010
As Phillip Keveren says, “Whether it's Ol' Blue Eyes belting out ‘The Christmas Waltz’ or Nat King Cole crooning over chestnuts, Christmas and jazz just seem to go together. Wouldn't Charlie Brown's Christmas seem rather stark without Vince Guaraldi's swinging jazz piano?”   All of the selections in Santa Swings are arranged to take full advantage of jazz rhythms and harmonic colors. When in doubt, swing the eighth note and embrace the accidental!
