Pasadena Roof Orchestra Christmas Album CD

2011 holiday release from the contemporary band from England that specializes in Jazz and Swing. A Christmas album from an established artist is normally high up on the recording agenda. In this respect it might be fair to say this album is somewhat overdue, especially as the Orchestra had a radio hit with "White Christmas" in the '70s. a little research into seasonal songs from the '20s, '30s and '40s reveals a wealth of material, and whilst some of these tracks will be very familiar. The styles on this album range from a pure Norman Rockwell like "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" to an out and out swinging Dorsey style "Santa Claus is Coming to Town".
