5.0 out of 5 stars 'Jingle jazz, jingle all the way', 29 Nov 2008
By Mart Music (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      

While maybe not the `Ultimate' Christmas Album from Classic FM - they have for many years released a new festive selection and I'm sure this won't be the last - this is certainly one of the most innovative thanks to its combination of traditional classical hymns and a selection of familiar festive music arranged jazz style, one disc being dedicated to each style of music.

The `jazzing up' of Christmas hits is nothing new to the pop music world, and certainly forms part of the recording repertoire of most jazz musicians, but it's rarer to find a combination of the two on one album release of greatest hits, and in this case some truly great, all American, artists. Names like Louis Armstrong, Eartha Kitt, Oscar Peterson, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Count Basie and many more endorse the quality of the jazz versions of familiar `chestnuts' (in the kindest festive sense of the word) such as `Santa Claus is Coming to Town' and `Jingle Bells'.

The Classics too offer a set of tried and trusted favourites, plus a few contemporary songs by Patrick Hawes and John Rutter, and as with the Jazz disc are performed by well established household favourites like Katherine Jenkins, Jonathon Ansell, Aled Jones, Lesley Garrett, Hayley Westenra, All Angels, the great Pavarotti and loads more.

Its great too to see Russell Watson's name on the tracklist and back in the Classic FM `good books', but I guess they could hardly leave him out considering he won the title of `Nation's Favourite Male Singer' in a 2008 listeners poll by the radio station!

An excellent pairing of styles, complementing each other rather than contrasting, and well worth a venture even for those with only a slight interest in jazz music.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Classic FM Christmas, 9 Feb 2009
By Mrs. D. J. Garside "Doreen Garside" (North Shields, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The CD was a bit disappointing.
The jazz numbers weren't very memorable and the classic Christmas numbers weren't anything special.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant idea!, 27 Nov 2008
By Carole Ml Toucet (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Awesome!!!!
I'm French but I'm a complete fan of U.S Xmas songs and Looooove Jazz, Ella being my fave so finding a Xmas song sung by her, Awesome!
+ I love traditional Xmas Carols too,especially the German ones mind you (I mean nothing beats the original Silent night or Stille Nacht by a German Choir )but hey I'm happy with English Carols too,so what a brilliant idea to combine Traditional and Jazz! Yeepee! :o)

4.0 out of 5 stars Something for every Christmas mood
It looks like a bizarre mix: Louis Armstrong (the wonderful " `Zat You, Santa Claus ?") and Russell Watson (Panis Angelicus) on one Christmas album. Read more
