Jingle Bell Swing is a refreshing idea in a Christmas collection,
assembling a host of top-notch jazz musicians to breathe new life into
the old holiday standbys. Big names abound here, including Duke
Ellington, Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis, Louis Prima, Lambert,
Hendricks & Ross, Benny Goodman, Miles Davis, Tony Bennett, and
Carmen McRae, plus several others. The selections mix standards and
enjoyable lesser-known material, striking a nice balance between the
two. The collection may not work well for listeners who simply enjoying
singing along to straightforward readings of their favorite carols, but
those looking for something different during the holidays may find this
well worth their time.
