In the US, from St Nicholas Day and during the whole Christmas period, TV channels and radios permanently resonate Christmas carols. Every home strikes them up in a great impetus of joy, sharing and generosity. Every style of music is represented, but the greater part is in Gospel, Jazz, and Rock’n’Roll.
If we had to give the proof that the best word to mean Christmas party is “peace”, we would just have to listen to this record, which harmoniously gathers the essential symbols of the Christian tradition and those of the pagan folklore.
Then who, better than feminine voices and sensibilities, to tell this peace and this happiness! This album leaves all that exclusively in their voices. We can hear the greatest ladies of Gospel, Jazz and Rock’n’Roll: Ella Fitzgerald, Brenda Lee, Billie Holiday, Mahalia Jackson, Peggy Lee, The Andrew Sisters, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Patti Page, Judy Garland in the most famous swinging, vibrant and moving Christmas songs.
