When Decca brought Louis Armstrong into the studio to record some Christmas cheer, they gave him first-class treatment by backing him with the lush arrangements of Gordon Jenkins. The track ‘Christmas In New Orleans’ opens with a snatch of “Jingle Bells” and features one of Armstrong’s scintillating trumpet solos. Satchmo sounds happier than Santa ...
Ella Fitzgerald’s swinging version of “Frosty The Snowman” was recorded on a hot New York day in August 1960. The song, from a Christmas album of festive classics for Verve Records called Ella Wishes You A Swinging Christmas, featured a studio orchestra arranged and conducted by Frank DeVol. Fitzgerald’s voice is as sparkling as pure snow.
Kenny Burrell was one of the finest jazz guitarists of the 20th Century and his beautifully tender instrumental version of the traditional carol ‘”Away In A Manger” appeared on his 1966 album Have Yourself A Soulful Little Christmas. The entire album, including a beautiful take on “Silent Night,” is full of peaceful Christmas tunes.
Bob Russell’s final hit was “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” and the songwriter was a favorite of Julie London, who recorded his short, super song “Warm December” for her 1956 album Calendar Girl. London was riding high when she recorded the song after her global hit “Cry Me A River” the previous year.

Looking for a Christmas carol feel, Callum “tried to write something timeless that could fit right into one of those classic Christmas compilations.” The...

Though it is well known as a vocal song, New York pianist Stephen Scott gave it a modern jazz twist with his instrumental version for the Verve Records album Jazz For Joyin 1996....
The original version of “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, and sung by Judy Garland in the 1944 movie Meet Me In St Louis, needed some modification, according to Frank Sinatra. He included the wonderfully sentimental song for his 1957 seasonal album, but asked Martin to revise the line “Until then we’l...
Since being composed in 1934, “Winter Wonderland” has been recorded by thousands of singers, cementing its status as one of the best Christmas jazz songs in history.
