Bob Dorough, Miles Davis "Blue Christmas" It's that time of the year.

Hehe. I like Bob Dorough, but someone who was not a fan described him as "li'l Alfalfa from the 'Our Gang' comedies, all growed up and singin' jazz!"
My first intro to Bob D. plus Miles was on a rogue track from the album "Sorcerer" (which I greatly enjoyed):

(Those bongos -- so tasty!)
For jazzy Christmas music, I always turn to Vince G:

Christmas satire with Miles! Thanks, Kehaulani!
Love the little references to So What in there. Christmas, so what. Also some stylistic nods to Blossom Dearie, maybe?
I don't know if we can draw a direct line from this to the Pogues and Kirsty MacColl, but this is superb. |
