Arranger: Mercer Ellington. A hoppin' visit from Saint Nick via some of his happier elves, Yule B Swingin' Too is the second release in a series of vocal jazz holiday albums from Hip-O Records. Having released some real classics on the first volume, this edition suffers a little, but several tracks really shine: Ann Margaret and Al Hirt's take on "Baby It's Cold Outside" is a light and funny duet, and Billie Holiday's "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" lasts as one of the great interpretations of the song. All of these tracks have been previously released during the '40s, '50s, and early '60s, but having them all on one CD makes for certain holiday listening enjoyment. ~ Zac Johnson Producer: Andy McKaie; Andy McKaie (Compilation)   Technical Info Release Date : 10/03/2000 Original Release Date : 2000 Catalog ID : 541582 Label : Hip-O Records Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00731454158220    Product Image
