[Dixielandjazz] Christmas Music

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

This thread finally got me off my duff to go digging in a Christmas storage 
 box.  Some I found that I don't think have been mentioned.
 
Dixieland Christmas from Green Hill Productions in Nashville. CD: GHD5020  
(1996)
 
Ella Wishes You A Swinging Christmas, 2002, The Verve Music Company  
(Recordings done in 1959-60 on LP)
 
A local jazz pianist that I totally enjoy has at least two volumes of  
Christmas music on solo piano.  Pat Joyce, PO Box 220364, Kirkwood, MO  63122.  
If someone's interested I can try to come up with phone  number.  Pat has no 
internet presence that I know of, doesn't seem to need  it.
 
For all except our navel gunnery list mate: There is the charming "A Banjo  
for Christmas" by Original Wildcats Jass Band banjoist, Rob Wright at this  
website:

(http://www.siatucson.com/Banjo%20Christmas.html) >   Sound sample should come up.
 
Finally a CD I totally enjoy each Christmas just because of the variety and 
 the quality of all of it is: A Carnegie Hall Christmas, recorded live in 
1991,  on Sony Classical.
Limited jazz, does include The Wynton Marsalis Septet.
 
I also really love "Hark the Herald Angels Swing" by Worlds Greatest Jazz  
Band.  Only have it on an old cassette, just went googling for a CD  
release.  Found that title used by other groups, but no luck in finding  THIS on CD 
by WGJB.
