A jazzy Christmas, a blues Christmas. This is the approach of this double compilation from the BD Music collection accompanied by its booklet illustrated by unique artists such as Igort, Mezzo, Bezian, Jean Charles Baty, Ben Radis, Gérald Fleury, Antonio Lapone, Yannick Corboz and Nicolas Pothier, Michel Conversin, Dupuy-Berberian, Francois Cerminaro, Simon Van Liemt, Alain Poncelet, etc. In English-speaking countries, this festive season has always been a magical time when sleigh bells mix with the warm voices of Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra, when the magical windows of New York toy shops are lit up by the Christmas song of the year, the Jingle Bells and other timeless Holy Nights. Here, the Father Christmases and Mother Christmases are Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Bessie Smith, Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong and Mel Tormé to name but a few. And in their voices, the Christmas classics have a unique flavour, far from the clichés and conventional versions. Vintage songs that haven't aged a day! Marc Zisman/Qobuz
