Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Swingle Singers Shine
Anyone who recognizes the name of this group will not be surprised by the excellence of this CD. In this outstanding recording of traditional as well as lesser-known Christmas carols and hymns, the current SS ensemble continues to combine immaculate diction, luscious harmonizations and unique arrangements into a satisfying collection. I highly recommend this set for anytime of the year, not just the Holidays.

5 stars Essential Christmas CD!
I own a hundred Christmas CD's, and this one is the BEST of them. Tremendous, varied arrangements perfectly matched by the light singing of the octet make for a beautiful CD. This one stayed in my car's CD player for almost an entire year when I first got it.

CD $18.05  Top 500
Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color. Before he had attained the age of 20 he was gigging with black jazz bands throughout the Southwest, and eventually organized an ensemble deliberately patterned after Count Basie's orchestra. This highly charged album of historical musical artifacts documents the very beginning of Johnny Otis' recording career. With one apparently unobtainable exception, the Classics Blues & Rhythm Series has assembled all of Otis' Excelsior recordings, ...

Neither time, nor the deaths of founding members, nor claims that they'll never play together again seem to stop the legendary Who. On 2006's ENDLESS WIRE, the band's first official studio full-length since 1982's IT'S HARD, Pete Townshend is still folding progressive structures and lofty themes into bombastic, arena-ready rock, while Roger Daltrey belts it out as though it were still 1976. The Who's 2000s-era touring band, including drummer Zak Starkey, bassist Pino Palladino, and keyboardist John Bundrick, lend enough muscle to the musical attack here to recall the ...
