"This compilation CD of Christmas goodies from Gleason's vast catalogue is as welcome as pay day,or in this case,Christmas day.

This languorish collection of holiday favourites will put you and yours in a wonderful,relaxed mode/mood during the holiday times,engendering good spirit and fellowship.In the cases of occassions for just two,this is the only Christmas music I've ever heard that will definitely put a "spring" into your yuletide steps.It exudes romanticism in spades.To hear it is to believe it.

The Gleason troupe accomplishes this by slowing down the tempos to each song considerably;you have rarely if ever heard them at these slower speeds.This allows the lush strings and sparse vocal accompaniments to do what they do best,wafting out of the speakers like some kind of spiritual musical mist and enveloping you completely.

It's a Gleason yuletide feast for the musical senses that will keep you listening again and again and again.Buy,beg,borrow or steal your copy today;you'll love it....guaranteed!"

Nostalgic...

"I bought this cd for my mom as a Christmas gift and bought a 2nd one for myself. I had never heard it, but ended up loving it--played it all through the Christmas season. Lovely (kind of mellow), and very 50s-sounding instrumental holiday music. I plan to buy more Jackie Gleason Orchestra cds--I liked it that much! And my mom played this cd practically every day from the day I brought it to her, until a couple of days after Christmas! Highly recommend it."

Lovely
