Shellac instead of stardust: when Santa Claus takes off his boots and unpacks the gramophone after his work is done: Bear Family Records delves deep into the shellac box! No intrusive bells, chumming ho-ho's or strangely distorted reindeer voices: every year around the same time the displays of the department stores are bending with hastily and often suspiciously similar compiled swing samplers, since ”swing is coming back." Our journey through the depths of various shellac racks, however, brought to light quite a number of undiscovered treasures. Thus we could stand up for the true Spirit of Swing. Thrilling music of the 30's and 40's, highly danceable, elegant but cool, performed by expert jazz musicians, at the time pressed onto a mélange of shellac, slate flour, soot and cotton flakes, to be played with a steel needle (or optionally cactus spikes for lower volume) at an unbelievable 78 RPM and .... extremely fragile. Big names like Glenn Miller - with a very special Jingle Bells version, recorded live on Dec 24, 1941!!! - Paul Whiteman, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Barnet, Count Basie or Ella Fitzgerald as well as Putney Dandridge have expressed themselves in their own way on the subject of Christmas. Ranging from charming to irreverent, Bear Family Records finally provides a great celebration for all fans of real swing music, as Las Vegas came much later. On <i>Santa Swings The Windup</i> there are several premieres on modern audio media.
