COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING SINATRA " COME SWING WITH ME" DECEMBER 27TH 2016.

COME SWING WITH ME....REPRISE. FRANK SINATRA. BILLY MAY.

Tracks played.....
The curse of an aching heart / Love walked in / please don't talk about me when I'm gone /
Don't be that way /  I never knew / Moonlight on the Ganges / Granada / Everybody's twistin'.

Available online and at record shops as most of Sinatra's output still sells......This swinging album
is not one of his best, but certainly lively enough to enjoy. His voice seems sharper on this
set than on his Capitol output and was quickly recorded while he was still at Capitol records.
It was the sixties and I assume he wanted more drive to his music. After the Beatles,then the Rolling
Stones,etc he changed tack and eventually "Stranger's in the Night " did it for him. Everything after
that made him look towards the charts. Still a good album.****.

COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING PENTATONIX & GEORGE SHEARING. DECEMBER 20 TH 2016.

PENTATONIX NEW CHRISTMAS ALBUM....DOWNLOAD.

Tracks played...
Oh come all ye faithful / White Christmas / Up on the rooftop / The christmas sing-a long / Coldest winter.

An outstanding acapella album from a very talented vocal group.  Hardly any  orchestra...just vocals
and vocal gymnastics....make for a very pleasing seasonal album....just like their first Christmas album I have no problem in awarding 5 stars  *****.

GEORGE SHEARING...EIGHT CLASSIC ALBUMS... REAL GONE JAZZ
tracks played.....

Have you met Miss Jones / The moon was yellow / Memories of you / Lullaby of Birdland.

Perhaps 100 tracks from an easy listening source can be a little hard to take, but George Shearing is
no boring pianist. With Jazz and latin and african orchestrations it provides a mellow background
on your car CD and an interesting background to an informal party. Good value.****.
