White Christmas»rank: 115by: Bing Crosby
: :Try to forget the fact that Bing Crosby probably never had to record another song in his life after he immortalized 'White Christmas.' lf you can do that, you'll find plenty more to like in this crooning Christmas collection. There's the Romantic Bing, charming the tinsel right off the tree with 'The Christmas Song,' and that cure for cabin fever, 'Let lt Snow! Let lt Snow! Let lt Snow!' There's the Reverent Bing, solemnly singing 'Adeste Fideles.' And of course, there's Bing the ... |

Kind of Blue»rank: 193by: Miles Davis
: essential recording:This is the one jazz record owned by people who don't listen to jazz, and with good reason. The band itself is extraordinary (proof of Miles Davis's masterful casting skills, if not of God's existence), listing John Coltrane and Julian 'Cannonball' Adderley on saxophones, Bill Evans (or, on 'Freddie Freeloader,' Wynton Kelly) on piano, and the crack rhythm unit of Paul Chambers on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums. Coltrane's astringency on tenor is counterpoised to Adderley's funky self on alto, ... |

Two Men With The Blues»rank: 170by: Willie Nelson/Wynton Marsalis
: :The event was simply billed as 'Willie Nelson Sings the Blues,' but the historic two-night stand on January 12 and 13, 2007 at Jazz at Lincoln Center was far more than that.

It's Time»rank: 147by: Michael Bublé
: :Michael Bublé's assured debut and the tireless year of globe-trotting touring he spent promoting it elevated the 20-something Vancouver native into the first rank of pop crooner revivalists. His sophomore studio follow-up largely turns on the same formula that helped make his considerable vocal prowess so attractive to mainstream audiences, mixing the nigh flawless, if expected Sinatra-channeling ('l've Got You Under My Skin') with more playful and inviting renditions of pop standards like the Gershwin's 'A Foggy Day in London Town,' 'Feeling Good,' ... |

Their ... |

Diana Krall Christmas Songs»rank: 242by: Diana Krall, Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra
: :As the song goes, 'Merry Christmas' has already 'been said many times, many ways.' Diana Krall's Christmas Songs is a worthy--though not particularly unique--addition to the holiday catalog. 0n it, she excels with an approach mastered long ago: elegant delivery that gives extra polish to a very familiar lineup. Some might find her style frosty at times, but that will come as a relief to those who want their carolers to cut through some of the holiday treacle and create a festive, yet ... |
