shared this out of in the
forums at
FaLaLaLaLa.com, but I thought I should go ahead and share it out here as well. If you're not a regular member over there, let me encourage you to join up. It's a great community of Christmas music aficionados that's fairly active year-round, though it certainly slows down in the non-holiday season. That's where I first heard about the 10" version of this record. It's really hard to find, and I counted myself lucky to be able to find this 7" version that features half of the full LP. If you're a fan of jazz, then this is the record for you. This is
Urbie Green And His All-Stars-
A Cool Yuletide Volume II (X (RCA) 7" 45 RPM EP EXA-51, Mono, 1954).

Really nice one!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this one!
ReplyDeleteLove the artwork and wish they'd credited the artist. Thats a smooth looking Santa and a busy jazzy sleigh. This will be a holiday favorite and I enjoyed the writeup on the back of the album cover. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteoh man. this is the maximum utmost!
ReplyDeletethe very utmost.
Thanks Ernie, for this and all the recent shares.
ReplyDeleteSteve Turner, they did credit the artist. Look closely at the sleigh. It's Jon Henry, who lived from 1916 to 1990, and who was a fine artist as well as a commercial artist.
Here's a page with some of his album covers. Note that the artists get top billing over the musicians. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/186969822004119665/
@George Birtch: I missed that! Thanks for pointing out the credited artist. In this case the musicians are exceptional!
ReplyDeleteThis one has now been remastered and is available for legal download. No sign of a hard copy, but maybe if enough people buy it...
