That tune with Dave Brubeck started life on an old 12-inch LP from the 1970s, I believe, called "Jingle Bell Jazz" with others like Duke Ellington and it was one of the tunes on there that really swings, so it's been a favorite of mine for years. And would you believe? They cut most of those in July in New York City.
I know you'll be going to church during the holiday season, so say a little prayer for us Old Geezers who are still trying to change the world for the better... and have the best Christmas ever, Tom.
Gee, Jingle Bell Rock with no Brenda Lee..:-(
ReplyDeleteAnd somehow I just never associated Dave Brubeck with Christmas music.. Who knew...
