More Swinging ... Jingle Bells!
By J. Thomas Duffy
Yesterday, we posted the hippest, swingest Xmas Tune, and today, we follow-up with the old chestnut, Jingle Bells, equally drenched in the Cool Yule spirit of finger-snappin', toe-tappin' Bebop.
Duke Ellington kept his orchestra together for decades (no small feat), and his sax section was comparable to Murderer's Row, of the powerful New York Yankees - simply the best, anytime, anyplace.
If you have never heard this, strap yourself in, for you are likely to jump out of your shoes.
Duke Ellington Orchestra - Jingle Bells
As a "Bonus Bonus", check out how hip a small trio can be;
Gene Krupa Trio - Jingle Bells
Merry Jazzmas!
