Ella Fitzgerald - Ella Wishes you a Swinging Christmas (1960)

“Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas is a 1960 album by the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald, recorded in the summer of 1960, with a studio orchestra arranged and conducted by Frank DeVol. It is Fitzgerald's only Verve album of Christmas tunes, recorded at the peak of her vocal talents”. – Wikpedia

“This is a delightful Christmas jazz reissue featuring Ella Fitzgerald in prime form. Fitzgerald clearly had a fun time recording such songs as "Jingle Bells," "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer," and "Frosty the Snowman," along with a few more serious pieces. These concise performances (all under four minutes) are charming, making this one of the better Christmas jazz sets”. – AMG

I cannot imagine any holiday season without this gem!

Ella's voice is pure magic. She was in her prime in 1960, when this wonderful collection was originally released. I especially like the fact that this is a strictly secular collection of music. There is a great unified feeling to this set. The only clunker [and it's a doozy!] is the Christmas Blues number.

Mixing the sacred and the secular is tricky, and, most often doesn't work. That's not an issue here! What's included here is a handful of holiday classics done in a jazzy style, as arranged by Frank DeVol.

"Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" One of the most delightful renditions of this classic ever. Ella sounds like she was having a ball.

"Sleigh Ride," is a pure jazzy delight. Ella's jazz sensibility is in full swing here. She dispenses with the "There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Grey" section of the song, to excellent effect, actually.

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," is rendered as a hopeful song of expectation, rather than the sad, "missing you" way that it is most frequently performed. Another strongly jazzy presentation.

"Winter Wonderland." Ella swings this one beautifully. One of my favorites in this set.

"White Christmas" and "The Christmas Song [Chestnuts Roasting...]" are performed in a very easy style, while most other singers render these in an overwrought, "hear me hit these tough notes," fashion. Understated, but very effective and enjoyable.

"Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer." Ella has a lot of fun with this one, and does an "original" little vamp in the middle..."Hang your nose down, ROO-DY, hang your nose and fly...You know, there's Dasher and Dancer..."

"What Are You Doing New Year's Eve." Ella's version just might be the definitive one. A rather tender, longing rendition.

"Frosty The Snowman" and "Jingle Bells" are just fine, both featuring a supporting chorale. "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," is even better, jazzier, and features an intro verse I hadn't heard before this version.

An excess of Xmas Pudding can lead to satiety, and an excess of Xmas songs can have the same effect. In such a case Ella's unique, but not too demanding, interpretations of secular Xmas standards can soon have you back in the Xmas spirit.
