Product Description
From Amazon.com
It'd be hard to imagine a happier wish than the one this jazz vocal legend offers her listeners on this urbane-yet-homey collection of holiday favorites. The First Lady of Song recorded these tunes in 1960, at the peak of her interpretive powers. As such, she puts her singular stamp on everything from a sultry vamp like "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve" to the sweet and cozy "The Christmas Song." Even potentially shopworn standards like "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" sound fresher when they're coming from Ella Fitzgerald. --David Sprague

Old Memories,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wishes You A Swinging Christmas (Audio CD)
I was a little girl when my parents bought this album. Little did I know that this would be the album that I use to measure all other Christmas albums. No one has come close to Ella's renditions of Christmas songs.

Much better the second time around!,

This review is from: Wishes You A Swinging Christmas (Audio CD)
I wanted this disc last year, but a tight economy and a deluge of fine releases of Christmas albums prevented me from puchasing it. Already owning the original cd release, I decided to wait to buy this release until this year. Good things are worth waiting for, this album is of no exception. The 24 bit remastering of the best masters from this album refreshen the whole listening experience. The result is a surgically clean sonic marvel. The clairity of the backgrounds, including the vocalists, and the crisp tone of Ella's bell-clear voice all make for a joyful rediscovery of a masterful holiday album.

Another Great Classic from Ella Fitzgerald,
By Blueknight "Hakim4416" (New York , NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wishes You A Swinging Christmas (Audio CD)
Ella never fails to deliver the goods. This is one classic Christmas CD that should be in everyone's collection, along side of Nat King Cole's, Johnny Mathis' and Bing Crosby's Christmas albums. However, I could do without two songs: 1) alternative take of "Frosty the Snowman," where she tries to sing in the manner of a four-year-old, and 2) a highly unappropriate, low-down, blues number. Regardless, I would still give it a five star rating!
