Why This CD Matters
This second Christmas Cocktails volume in Capitol’s Ultra-Lounge series brings together mid-century jazz, pop, and lounge performances for a relaxed holiday playlist. Lena Horne and Lou Rawls share space with Martin Denny’s exotica and The Ventures’ instrumental take on “Frosty The Snowman.” Two bonus tracks by Guy Lombardo and Stan Kenton extend the set with additional period recordings.
