[b]Chris Squire[/b] is about to release a "Progmas" album, [url="http://www.chrissquire.net/marketsquire.html"]Swiss Choir[/url]. (Geddit?) You can hear his new version of [i]Silent Night[/i], and his older Christmas tune, [i]Run With The Fox[/i], on his [url="http://www.chrissquire.net/music.html"]music page[/url]. [i]Silent Night[/i] is not bass-heavy, but pretty-interesting, and his voice is in great shape I think.

There is a great Christmas album by Wynton Marsalis called 'Crescent City Christmas Card' with great jazz arrangements of classic Christmas tunes. Great versions of 'Let It Snow, Let It Snow , Let It Snow' (with a great Jon Hendricks vocal) and everything from 'Silent Night' to 'Little Drummer Boy' and 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' - have a listen to clips on Amazon - its the best (only?) Christmas CD I have ever liked.

[quote name='gypsymoth' post='121913' date='Jan 17 2008, 02:41 AM']those quaint english expressions are sometimes confusing.

"more", as in greater numbers, or a larger one , or the entire fish ... :)[/quote]

You misunderstand, but I understand. I was implying the recording could of been improved by employing the services of Derek William Dick. :huh: ;)
