Everything That's On My Mind

Wednesday, November 30, 2005

I've seen other bloggers posting such lists and thought I'd join the club. In no particular order...

Christmas In Detroit - Various Artists (out of print)

Benefit CD produced in 1993 by various Detroit area musicians. Only one track I don't like.

An Evening in December - Various Artists

Some of the best a cappella music ever recorded. Three of the four primary vocalists on this CD eventually went on to form the group First Call.

When My Heart Finds Christmas - Harry Connick Jr.

How can you ever go wrong with Harry? Great fun.

The Christmas Album - The Manhattan Transfer

I've loved The Manhattan Transfer since high school. Great stuff and a great cameo by Tony Bennett. Can you tell I love vocals?

Come, Let Us Adore Him - Various Artists

The newest CD on the list. This is the 2005 collection created and organized by the guys from The Choir.

And finally, some Christmas CDs I wish I had...

Boogie Woogie Christmas - Brian Setzer Orchestra
Dig That Crazy Christmas - Brian Setzer Orchestra

Yes, I just love Brian Setzer, especially his newer neo-swing stuff. Saw him at Pine Knob (I still call it that) a few years ago...he was fantastic.

Broken Christmas - Various Artists

A CD done back in the early 90s by the artist stable of Broken Records. It's very rare, I'd love to find a copy.

A Charlie Brown Christmas - Vince Guaraldi Trio

Vince Guaraldi is fantastic, and so is Snoopy. :-)

Messiah - George Frederic Handel

I love the piece, of course, but I don't have a favorite recording of it. Any suggestions? Please, don't say "The Young Messiah", Handel should not be messed with in such ways.
