Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Totally Disappointing.......2002-12-04

I bought this CD based on the reviews and the way the CD was labeled (it sounded "swingy"). I'm a swing dancer, but I also love most kinds of jazz. I hated this CD. It doesn't swing very much, the vocals are odd, and the arrangements are uninspiring.

5 out of 5 stars A Swinging Christmas CD.......2001-12-24

With "In the Swing of Christmas", the Park Swing Orchestra has
succeeded in the difficult task of bringing a fresh approach to
some traditional Christmas carols and songs. Utilizing a diverse
group of musicians and singers, producer/arranger Bill Kinslow has put together a CD that explores a variety of jazz and classical textures while remaining faithful to the original
melodies that we know so well. The result is a well paced and
very listenable CD that will certainly appeal to a diverse
group of music fans. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Hip Christmas Music.......2001-12-24

The most refreshing arrangements of songs that I've heard for years. They sound new. "Jingle Bell Rock" actually made me get off of the couch to dance. "Let it Snow" is very upbeat too. "It Came Upon The Midnight Clear" has a great jazz feel. In fact, I think all the songs on this CD are great listening . I'm going to buy a bunch as gifts.
