Back With Melis

Here's one that you folks have been requesting all season, I just haven't been able to squeeze it into the line-up until now.  The original share was way back in 2006, but I must have re-recorded it since then because I still had the WAV files on my PC.  I went in and re-encoded this at a full 320 bitrate so the sound is about as good as I can get it.  You can still tell it's from vinyl, but that's not always a bad thing. You may not know who Jose Melis is, but he served in the same position as Skitch Henderson, Milton DeLugg, Doc Severinsen, Max Weinberg and now Questlove.  That's right, he directed the band on The Tonight Show.  How's that for a noble lineage?  Anyhow, he made some good Christmas music and I'm bringing it back today.  This is José Melis And His Orchestra-Christmas With Melis (Seeco CELP 4230, 1958, Stereo). Same old scans, though.  I need to work on that...
