Amazon.com

Listen to Hipster's Holiday and you'll feel like you just spent Christmas in the coolest nightclub on Earth. "Silent Night" swings in Tim Fuller's Vegas-lounge setting while Lambert, Hendricks & Ross lay on the playful jazz vocals in "Deck Us All with Boston Charlie" and John Greer dictates that "We Wanna See Santa Claus Do the Mambo." And so it goes, 18 totally hip tracks with lots of dancing opportunities--and some comic relief from Pearl Bailey with "Five Pound Box of Money" and Eartha Kitt from 1953, making history with her now classic "Santa Baby." The showstopper, however, in a lineup that exudes cool, from Miles Davis and Lionel Hampton to the Marquees, Lena Horne, and Mabel Scott, comes from Louis Armstrong and his Commanders. Their romping versions of "Cool Yule" and "'Zat You, Santa Claus" are must-hears for any kid. Armstrong again conquers with his All Stars in a lively panoramic view of "Christmas Night in Harlem." If this dynamo set can't jump-start your holiday season, your battery might be dead for good. --Martin Keller

4 out of 5 stars Have a crazy cool Christmas, but don't get knocked out........2005-12-09

This is a collection of jazzy Christmas songs. But don't be scared, it's vocal jazz, which is more accessible than instrumental jazz (some of the tracks actually lean more towards R&B than jazz). There are a lot of cool songs here. But I have to question why Tim Fuller's "Silent Night" from 1989 is here, when the rest of the songs are from the 40s, 50s and 60s. It seems a bit out of place here (it's good, though). I also should mention that the sound quality is not that great on a few tracks, which sound like they were recorded from scratchy old 78s. Despite that, this is a fun collection which should inspire you to have a "cool" Christmas.

5 out of 5 stars Great Stuff.......2001-12-22

What more can I say, this is one excellent compilation. The Louis Armstrong material is exceptional. My favorites are Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby" and the Tim Fuller Experience's 'lounge lizard' rendition of "Silent Night." You gotta buy this cd. Play it year round.

5 out of 5 stars Best Christmas Compilation.......2001-11-30

You don't need to be a jazz or blues fan to adore this album as I do--there are tracks here that everyone will enjoy. It's an album worth owning just for Eartha Kitt's sultry "Santa Baby" and the three tracks featuring Satchmo. And I always laugh when I hear Pearl Bailey's "Five Pound Box of Money." Full of fun (and sometimes funny), these tunes range from swing to cool. If you're planning a party, this album will be a big hit shuffled in with your other favorites.

5 out of 5 stars My Favorite Xmas Album.......2001-11-19

What can I say... I love Christmas albums. This is one of my all time favorites though. So much so that I have one copy for the car and one for the house. This album will get you shaking while you do your holiday baking, not to mention liven up any party. There is not a single bad track! Great job Rhino!

4 out of 5 stars Party Hearty With Louis & Friends.......2001-08-13

This album is definitely a true tinsel tunes classic! Nobody beats RHINO when it comes to releasing all kinds of wonderful Christmas collections. Hipster's Holiday is fun for everyone, young & old. The reason I gave this 4 stars is because of the one holdout song(in my opinion)which grates on my ears-Lambert, Hendricks & Ross singing Deck Us All With Boston Charlie. Oh well, what can I say-different strokes for different folks. So whether you're dipping into the egg-nog or just writing your letter to Santa, putting this cd on your turntable will make you smile & tap your feet. Highly recommended.

    3 out of 5 stars Lacking greatly in swing.......2005-01-20

    I'll second JohnSloan's comments. Not a whole lot of swinging here. As he says, the best cuts are the ones from Nutcracker. The Teagarden version of "Christmas Song" won't make anyone forget Nat Cole's...or Mel Torme's for that matter.

    For $5.98 it's not pricey...it just depends on how much you want to spend on the 4 tunes (the first number is OK) of note here. You may want to get something else if you're paying new price, but a used copy of this would probably be worthwhile.

    4 out of 5 stars This is a nice big band CD.......2004-08-17

    While I agree with the previous poster, that this really isn't a swing cd, it still has some nice songs that you don't ordinarily hear at Christmas. It is a nice cd if you want a change in your christmas music selection. And you can get it for agreat price too!

    3 out of 5 stars Doesn't "Swing" as much as it claims to.......2004-01-14

    The main selling point for this disc has to be its bargain basement price. I would probably have called it 2 stars if I had paid regular CD prices. The simple fact is, it is not really as "swinging" as its title claims. Some of the tracks are downright dull. The best tracks are the three that are taken from "The Nutcracker" ("Dance of the Suger Plum Fairies" by the Larry Clinton Orchestra, "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers" by Red Nichols & His Five Pennies, and "The Nutcracker Suite" by the Les Brown Orchestra. Another worthwhile track is "He'll Be Coming Down the Chimney" by the Guy Lombardo Trio. On the whole, it is about half a swinging big band Christmas.

      Truth in packaging: Christmas in New Orleans boasts a decidedly regional panorama of seasonal favorites--with one or two originals, including Milton Batiste's completely charming "Big Fat Santa Is Coming to Town." Of course, you've really never heard some of these chestnuts until you've heard the renowned Zion Harmonizers gospel choir's "Silent Night" and "White Christmas" or Tommy Ridgley's cookin' arrangements of "Please Come Home for Christmas" and "Silver Bells." That these singers and players are fairly well known among New Orleans music buffs is great, but many of them remain relatively obscure to the rest of the world. That should be an invitation to join the party, whether it means singing along with Charmaine Neville's boisterous "Santa Baby" or swinging and moaning on the "Night Before Christmas Blues." After all, New Orleans music is the world's music. Recommended. --Martin Keller

More mainstream pop music by Bing Crosby and the Andrew Sisters, along with the rather bland June Christy version of "The Merriest" and the ever self-effacing Dean Martin version of "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer," tend to detour from nuggets such as Armstrong's wonderful "Christmas in New Orleans" and Joe Williams's "Let It Snow." Still, for a nostalgic big band Christmas collection that only occasionally burns down low, Yule B Swingin', Too! will get you in the holiday spirit. --Martin Keller

      4 out of 5 stars Excellent holiday swing.......2003-12-09

      With the exception of Dean Martin, this CD is full of fun christmas music you wont hear on commercial play-off-the-list Radio. Many songs are danceable.

      5 out of 5 stars Cool Yule..............2003-12-08

      This review refers to the "Yule B' Swingin" Too!" CD(Hip-O/Universal Music).....

      "Baby It's Cold Outside"....but you won't even notice with this CD on your changer. It'll warm you through and through with it's oh so recognizable voices and musical styles.From the opening track of Louis Armstrong's classic rendition of "Christmas In New Orleans" to Billy Holiday's wonderful "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm", you'll be smilin and swingin to all these fun tunes.

      I was looking for something fun, upbeat and just a little different from the usual holiday fare, and wow! did I find it with this one. Fans of swing will find this to be a real and rare treat.All these legendary greats performing some fabulous holiday tunes in a style that that never gets old. It's a match made in music heaven.

      Some of the wonderful sounds you'll be delighted by are Louis Prima's "Shake Hands With Santa Clause",(this one will really get you jumpin),..."Baby,It's Cold Outside", a provacative duet from Ann Margaret and Al Hirt...Dean Martin sings "Rudolph, The Red Nose Reindeer"(appropriatly enough,)..Ella treats us to a moving "White Christmas", and Lionel Hampton and His Orchestra entertainingly perform "Boogie Woogie Santa Claus".There are 13 tracks in total, including such greats as Benny Goodman, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, June Christy,Joe Williams, Bing Crosby with The Andrews Sisters and of course... Duke Ellington.(See buying info for complete list of songs and artists).

      Many of these recordings are quite old but sound great on this CD. It's a mix that will just have you wanting to get up and swing...and if you're new to it..don't worry.. the basic 'swing step' is included in the booklet that comes with the CD!

      Have a 'hip' holiday.......Laurie

      5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Fun!.......2002-12-04

      I just purchased this CD and think it's the best Chrsitmas album I own. So much fun to listen to -- it'll be great for a party or for just bopping around the house. You don't have to be a big fan of Swing to enjoy this album. My two-year-old applauds at the end of each song!

      The Yuletide washes in the many moods of the season and Yule Be Miserable makes a great attempt at capturing those darker holiday sentiments that come with the holly and the ivy. Still, the title's slightly misleading--even with its cool liner notes by comic book icon Harvey "American Splendor" Pekar. While some of these blues tunes (like the renowned Billie Holiday's "Stormy Blues" and Spike Jones' whiney "My Birthday Comes on Christmas") are decidedly down and out, the performances generally will knock off those stockings hung with care. For every tune like Aaron Neville's pleading "Please Come Home for Christmas" or Billy Eckstine's "Blue Christmas," there's more light-hearted fare such as Louie Armstrong's inimitable "'Zat You, Santa Claus?," the two spirited tracks from Ella Fitzgerald ("Santa Claus Got Stuck in My Chimney," "Baby, It's Cold Outside"), and B.B. King's torn-up "Merry Christmas, Baby." Misery this bad never sounded so good. --Martin Keller

      4 out of 5 stars Good Music.......2006-12-25

      Though the title is slightly misleading and this isn't a collection of music that has you considering ending it all, it's good music that's fun to listen to and enjoy.

      The title cracks me up, I just wish that it was used for some down and out Holiday music.

      3 out of 5 stars I'm only gettin' half of what I oughta........2005-12-15

      This CD is supposed to feature unhappy Christmas songs. But in reality, not very many of these songs are particularly mournful. But most of the songs are good, with the exception of Spike Jones' awful version of "Nuttin' For Christmas" (sung by a group of kids). But what is Billie Holiday's "Stormy Blues" doing here, which, although it fits the "miserable" concept, doesn't have anything to do with Christmas? It's also strange that they included two versions of the instrumental "Christmas Blues", although both versions are good. This is a decent CD, but it could have been much better.

      Bought this in 2003/same cover/same artists/same tracks - diff title "The Christmas Collection" and diff order of songs?! Weird! Awesome collection of Christmas songs. Who needs the norm, anyway? Exceptionally clear recordings. I love Cool Yule. This cd goes on when I'm home alone & want to SING OUT LOUD! You will too. Add this to your collection.

      5 out of 5 stars * TASTY RECIPE FOR A SATCHMO CHRISTMAS *.......2002-12-14

      This is a Christmas set which really stands out from the pack. For one thing the material is great, and on top of that, it has great sound quality...finish it off with some inspired cover art, and it's a can't-miss package. All of the Armstrong tracks are fabulous, and feature a variety of settings, such as Gordon Jenkins' lush snowscapes for White Christmas & Winter Wonderland, and Benny Carter's swinging orchestra on Christmas in New Orleans. 'Zat You, Santa Claus? with The Commanders is a hoot, with a paranoid Louis locked up in his Christmas cabin, wondering what all those funny noises are outside (It's interesting to note that this "'Zat You" doesn't have any whistle or wind overdubs as it does on Laserlight's Christmas Through The Years). Louis also delivers an infectious Christmas Night In Harlem, and by the time he blows some exuberant trumpet on Cool Yule, feelings of holiday joy will have completely overtaken you. Some of these tunes by Louis are actually pretty rare, so it's great to have them here in good sound quality.

      Other goodies featured include a bluesy Silent Night by Dinah Washington, a live The Christmas Song by Mel Torme (who co-authored it), and a rare and hypnotic Peggy Lee tune called It's Christmas Time Again. Lionel Hampton brings the good vibes on the blues number Merry Christmas, Baby, Eartha Kitt signs in with her amusing Santa Baby, and Duke Ellington righteously jazzes up Jingle Bells. Lena Horne has it "on good authority" that Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town, and Louis Jordan turns in a bluesy and soulful May Everyday Be Christmas.

      My review is over now, but before I get into the nog, I'd like to share with you my recipe for the ultimate Louis Armstrong Yuletide disc. Yes, there is no complete Satchmo Christmas set, but if you love Louis like me, you'll want to make one, and here's how; Take the six Satchmo tunes from this disc, and add in Santa Claus Blues, The Night Before Christmas, and the live masterpiece Baby, It's Cold Outside from the Christmas Through The Years disc (Laserlight). Now get your hands on the Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald duet I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm. Finally, pick up the remastered version of Louis Armstrong & Friends, which features the bonus track Here Is My Heart For Christmas. Mix these up in a good ol' good way, and be sure, of course, to put The Night Before Christmas at the end. Congratulations, daddy, you are now the proud owner of the ultimate Louis Armstrong Christmas set! If you play this mix only in December like a good little boy or girl, Dipper Claus just might leave a shiny new trumpet in your stocking! Happy holidays, pops.

      5 out of 5 stars Swinging Satchmo + Fabulous Friends = Holiday Highlights.......2002-11-14

      You can't go wrong with this CD! This swinging Christmas compilation includes a number of jazzy holiday tunes performed by some of the greatest artists in traditional jazz. The classic Christmas carols (including The DUKE playing "Jingle Bells" and Mel Torme's own version of "The Christmas Song") are ballanced by some fairly unique swinging treats (such as Cool Yule and "Zat You, Santa Claus" performed by Satchmo).

      This CD is sure to liven up any holiday party.

      5 out of 5 stars You Can't Go Wrong With These Holiday Hits!.......2001-08-13

      Another great Christmas collection featuring the genius himself, Louis Armstrong as the star. This cd should be played along with the Hipster's Holiday collection-so what if some of the same tunes are on each cd-it's party time! Put this on at your next holiday party & a fun time is guaranteed for all. Highly recommended.

      These guys have come up with fresh arrangements, casting these popular Christmas tunes into a new light. Bright and bouncy - with enough Nawlins flavor to keep it interesting all the way through. If you like music from New Orleans, you wouldn't be disappointed by this CD...the group plays like they're having a great time and are inviting you to join in.

      If this set actually contained the advertised songs I would have given it five stars. However, when you receive it, the songs are all different! If you are looking for a general Christmas jazz set, this one is OK ... But if you are looking for those specific songs I would look elsewhere.

      5 out of 5 stars What will Santa Claus say, when he finds everybody swinging?.......2002-11-11

      Christmas hasn't been the same since I discovered this fabulous box set. Jazz has been forevermore infused into Jingle Bells and Bing Crosby. (Although Bing joins in on "Gone Fishin'.")

      What a collection! Louis Armstrong, Fats Domino, Lena Horne...every disk is a powerhouse of music. I am no Jazz expert, but I know how to enjoy good music. "What Will Santa Claus Say (When He Finds Everybody Swingin'?)" is my favorite. It is as swinging a song as the title suggests. Mildred Bailey does good service to "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" "The Night Before Christmas" as read by Louis Armstrong is really fun.

      I can't imagine a better box set. Each of the three disks is worth the price on its own.
