We�ve got the CDs guaranteed keep you rockin� around the Christmas tree
[snip to]
Barry Manilow: In the Swing of Christmas (Arista/Sony)
The offering: Lush and jazzy arrangements from the adult contemporary
superstar backed by the Matt Herkowitz and Randy Kerber trios.
Classic chestnuts: Manilow sings harmony with himself on Silver Bells, turns
Jingle Bells and Winter Wonderland into a bouncy swing numbers and gets
sentimental on Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and Christmas Time is
Here.
New jingles: None, but it's not often you hear Frank Sinatra's Violets for
Your Furs, Toyland, from Victor Herbert's operetta Babes in Toyland, and
Irving Berlin's Count Your Blessings on holiday albums. 3 stars (RW)
