JoeS Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 My school swing band used to do "We Three Kings" in 5/4, that was always a good laugh. Quote
cetera Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Definitely 'Christmas Wrapping' (Waitresses) or 'Merry Xmas Everybody' (Slade) or anything on this album: Quote
bnt Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) [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. Edited November 23, 2007 by bnt Quote
BOD2 Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 I always love to hear the bass in Springsteen's "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town". You might need a large band to pull that version off, though. Quote
OldGit Posted November 23, 2007 Author Posted November 23, 2007 Merry Chrismas Baby by Charles Brown .. Loose Windscreen covered this one too but this is great. Earl May playing left handed on a stand up bass too ... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4zq7gCJZoA&feature=related"]YouTube live vid.[/url] Quote
OldGit Posted November 23, 2007 Author Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) Yeah love Bruce doing SantaClause ... Here's him and the E Street band in their full early glory (and black and white!)

gypsymoth Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 hmm, never saw this thread til now. my version of King of Angels has, well, magnificent (but simple) bass. tune six on the link below, for a limited time only. Quote
Bilbo Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 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

gypsymoth Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 those quaint english expressions are sometimes confusing. "more", as in greater numbers, or a larger one , or the entire fish ... Quote

I was implying the recording could of been improved by employing the services of Derek William Dick. Hamster Quote
