It was featured on Jazz Wax a while back. Really love the cover.

Surprisingly good and fidelity is top-notch too.

Considering that I'm always looking for jazz Christmas stuff, I'm surprised that I just learned about this album today, although considering it's rarity, maybe I should not be surprised.

It is available as a lossless download from Qobuz.

Well, as someone who listens to 8 hours of vintage department store Christmas muzak, I can handle 8 Urbie Green Christmas tunes! 🤣

:D Which is exactly what came to my mind when I wrote my reply ... :g

But that 8-hours YT clip of department strore Xmas muzak had me wondering ... I've half a mind of downloading it for the upcoming season ... (my better half will be away for a couple of days, so ... ;))

"X" was a branch of RCA Victor and used the same recording facilities. All the mainstream jazz sessions from the mid-fifties on these label sound great, often recorded with only one mcrophone in front of the band. These guys knew how to balance their sound without amplification and mixing. 

Seems like the Urbie Green Xmas album (mono from 1954) was never reissued. Great playing of a true all star band.

Thanks for the reminder. I just tried and got the sound to work 👍. But the problem is just this: The PC I would be able to play this from is not near my living room or music rom but one flight down in my office. Inconvenient ... (no, no "smart"phone here for this ...)
