"Have Yourself A Very Quiet Christmas"

[ghost of miles]

Posting this week's Night Lights show a bit early, given that Christmas falls on Friday.  Joe Pass, Paul Desmond with the Modern Jazz Quartet, and Judy Holliday are among the featured artists.  

Have Yourself A Very Quiet Christmas

Happy holidays and all that jazz,

David

We re-aired Have Yourself A Very Quiet Christmas this past week, and it remains archived for online listening. Season’s greetings to my fellow Organissimos. 🎅

That was nice, thank you!  Whose version of "Snowfall" was that?

Thank you, TTK, and apologies for the delay in responding to your query. It’s Claude Thornhill himself, though not the original 1941 version, but a re-recording with the 1947 band, taken from one of Hep’s Thornhill CDs:

Thanks! It seems that "Snowfall" was kind of forgotten for a long time. I'm glad it has had a resurgence of sorts in recent decades. Even Mike Nesmith recorded a version!

For both Night Lights and my weekday show I’ve also used versions by Emily Remler, Wes Montgomery, Ahmad Jamal, and Tony Bennett. Always on the hunt for other ones!
