CHAISE LOUNGE: A Very Chaise Lounge Christmas
Modern Songbook, 2012
HOLIDAY – This fun retro act follows up on the very fine “Insomnia” album with a ten-pack of Christmas songs, a mix of snappy originals and less-covered classics. Appealing vocals and a nice mix of vintage jazz, early rock, and pop stylings. All songs clean, of course.
Fo’s Picks: 1, 2, 3, 6, 8
1. 2:54 – 1960s bounce with a touch of rockabilly
2. 2:55 – nice relaxed original: slinky horns and a winking delivery
3. 2:53 – snappy, uptempo rework of “Mister Sandman”
4. 3:30 – folksy traditional carol with acoustic guitar & accordion
5. 4:11 – original ballad, intimate and tender with an icy sparkle
6. 3:43 – very cute bouncy ditty… everyone loves a snow day!
7. 2:42 – sweet bossa nova version of a 1950s novelty hit
8. 2:07 – swinging hepcat cha-cha, lots of goofy retro-slang
9. 3:01 – standard carol picks up an easy swing rhythm
10. 2:36 – obscure traditional carol, just piano, bass & vocal
