The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 I'd like to get a new Christmas album this year. But I can't think of any that are around that I want. So I started thinking about ones that AREN'T around that I want - because they haven't been recorded (yet). And here are the musicians I hope will release a Christmas album next November. Fred Wesley - I think Fred could make a very partying kind of Christmas album. And I think plenty of people would buy it. Bernard Purdie - a bit more partying, I guess. Junior Mance - I think Junior could make a good album of well played Christmas songs that would last the whole year through. Gene Ludwig - are you out there, Gene? MG Quote
BruceH Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Brian Eno Fountains of Wayne (after all, they already have a good Christmas song in "I Want An Alien for Christmas") Cyrus Chestnut It must be understood up front that none of them can be allowed to cover "Little Drummer Boy." Quote

Quite right, too: Organissimo have made the definitive version of that one. MG Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted December 4, 2009 Report Posted December 4, 2009 Don't want no Christmas music. Religious music and Jazz music. Why would one only listen to great music (Messiah) and crap (most of the rest) around a "holiday"? Music is music and religion is something else. Quote
Tom 1960 Posted December 4, 2009 Report Posted December 4, 2009 Far too late now, but back in there hey day, The Kinks could have made a great Christmas album. "Father Christmas" is a classic. Quote

king ubu Posted December 4, 2009 Report Posted December 4, 2009 John Coltrane! Maybe they could inject some of his stem cells to Kenny G or some such? Quote

Why would one only listen to great music (Messiah) and crap (most of the rest) around a "holiday"? I don't - I listen to crap all the time. Music is music and religion is something else. Oh surely not! Seems to me they're both alternative ways of carrying on politics. MG Quote
mjazzg Posted December 4, 2009 Report Posted December 4, 2009 Tom Waits....and I'd love to hear his version of Little Drummer Boy Quote
jazzbo Posted December 4, 2009 Report Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) I wonder what a late sixties or early seventies Procol Harum Xmas lp would be like? I'd buy a Tania Maria Xmas lp. Or an Ed Motta! Edited December 4, 2009 by jazzbo Quote
GA Russell Posted December 4, 2009 Report Posted December 4, 2009 On his Misty album, Groove Holmes introduced a style (which he soon abandoned) which Chris Albertson referred to as the dripping faucet. I would have enjoyed an album of Christmas standards by Groove using that style. Quote
