| True Kenton fan
After having lost this as an LP years ago and its not being readily available I am extremely happy to have it in my grasp again. It is an excellent example of brass ensemble writing (along with a jazz rhythm section)

| Music's 5 stars but Capitol wrecked the audio...
Some of my all-time favorite brass ANY time of the year! BUT why did they put this beautifully recorded music through that horrible digital process that leaves a kind of shimmering, key jingling effect? No, it's not Christmas chimes. Just listen closely to O Tannenbaum; you'll hear it during the quieter passages. It scares me to think Capitol/EMI would let that sort of mastering mediocrity hit the streets. Oh, well, you get what you pay for... but is tampered-with and ruined audio worth ANY cheap-o price? And I've heard this awful process disfiguring other great classics from the '50s-'60s Capitol catalog. That's it, no more "Capitol Punishment" for my CD buck. Hey, I'm sorry to be a Scrooge about this, but this tomfoolery has got to stop--just give us [the gift of] music, the unprocessed original audio! Like the Japanese do. And with that I bid you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS, even if that may offend some of your politically correct fannies.

| This is a must have for Kenton Fans
Long-time Stan Kenton fan. I wanted a CD of the Kenton Christmas and found this online. Great additional tracks including Maynard Ferguson's Christmas For Moderns.

| Great Value & Music for the Christmas Season!
At this price you can't loose. Great Stan Kenton with the Melephoniums. These are instuments that sound a bit like french horns but louder. Christmas Carols like you've never heard before. Great Capital Records recording. The bonus track of Maynard Ferguson will knock your socks off!!

| A Seasonal Classic
This album is a textbook example of how Christmas music can be arranged and performed in unique ways. The Carmichael & Kenton arrangements have maintained their reverence towards this time of year while demonstrating that Stan Kenton was very much ahead of his time. It is hard to believe that the recording of the original LP took place in the early 1960's! This album is a wonderful tribute to how well-written music will always stand up to time. A truly wonderful album.
