A good collection that could have been a little better,
By
This review is from: Christmas in New Orleans (Audio CD)
These are just some of the reasons to get this disc:* Duke Ellington & His Orchestra doing "Jingle Bells is just about the best of the hundreds of versions of that song. * Louis Prima's "What Will Santa Claus Say (When He Finds Everybody Swingin'?)" is sone vintage Christmas swing. * Big Tiny Little's (I just love that name) ragtime piano intrumental "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" will make you want to sing along. * Charles Brown does the original "Merry Christmas, Baby". If you don't already own it on another compilation, you can get it here. Most of the songs here are good representations of Christmas in New Orleans. Still, I have to wonder why the producers of this disc chose to include Fats Domino's "When The Saints Go Marching In", since he has recorded some great Christmas songs. And how did the Boston Pops end up on a New Orleans compilation? Also, Victoria Spivey's "Christmas Morning Blues" has kind of grating 1920's blues sound that would appeal mostly to music historians.

Terrif!,

This review is from: Christmas in New Orleans (Audio CD)
I usually hate xmas compilations, but this one has a coupla gems. Louis Prima's "What Will Santa Claus Say (when he finds everybody swingin')" is so jivin'. AND he wrote it! Also, Duke Ellington's take on that hardened chestnust, "Jingle Bells" is impressive. And the jovial call-and-response vocals of "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm" is worth the price of admission alone.

track listings are dishonest,
By A Customer
This review is from: Christmas in New Orleans (Audio CD)
Buyer beware! It is really upsetting when record companies dishonestly list more tracks on the packaging of CDs than are actually on the discs, or simply make wrong listings, or, as in this case, manage to do both. In the case of this 2-CD set, for example, the first CD, titled "Christmas Through the Years", does not have four tracks listed on the outside of the box packaging. Missing from the disc are: "Cool Yule", "White Christmas", "Christmas Night in Harlem" and "Joseph and His Brothers." Instead are the tracks "Christmas in New Orleans" (which is repeated on both discs; what a rip-off), Hello Dolly (of course a Louis Armstrong fan already has this track on another CD), "Blue Moon", and "A Kiss to Build a Dream On." As for the second CD in the set, "Christmas in New Orleans", the outide of the box lists 12 tracks but there are only 10 tracks on the disc. Again, the track listings are wrong. Missing from the disc is "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer", "You're All I Want for Christmas", "The Toy Trumpet" and "When the Saints Go Marching In". The two tracks on the disc which are not listed on the outside of the box packaging are "Blue Blood Blues" and "The Santa Claus Blues." (The Amazon.com track listings, however, do comform to those on the discs; but if you have bought this CD set at a store based on the packaging, you have been deceived. The set is made in Korea where perhaps little attention is paid to English-language labeling.)
