(C) 2003 Universal Music Enterprises, a Division of UMG Recordings, Inc.   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info Louis Armstrong & Friends' Christmas Collection is a lot of fun. Along with Satchmo, the represented artists on this 14-song collection include Dinah Washington, Mel Torm?, Peggy Lee, Lionel Hampton, Eartha Kitt, Duke Ellington, Lena Horne, and Louis Jordan. While the main focus is on hipster tunes like "Cool Yule," "Merry Christmas, Baby," "May Everyday Be Christmas," "'Zat You, Santa Claus?," and "Santa Baby," the traditional and somber material ("The Christmas Song," "White Christmas," and "Silent Night") doesn't bring down the overall celebratory atmosphere. This is perfect background music for any Xmas get-together. ~ Al Campbell Producer: Andy McKaie (Compilation)   Technical Info Release Date : 09/21/2004 Original Release Date : 2003 Catalog ID : 0000697 Label : Hip-O Records Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00602498603635    Product Image
