Starting out with some all time favorites…
The Philadelphia Orchestra - The Glorious Sound of Christmas
Link: What's the Enduring Appeal of The Philadelphia Orchestra's 1962 Glorious Sound of Christmas Album?
The Philadelphia Brass Ensemble - A Festival of Christmas in Brass
Christmas with Chanticleer and Dawn Upshaw
Windham Hill - A Winter’s Solstice
Always a relaxing favorite. Heavy rotation
David Wayne -The Little Star Of Bethlehem and The Toy Box
Vintage kid’s stories well told with lovely accompaniment.
Christmas Party With Eddie G.
A terrific compilation from 1996 full of vintage goodies.
The Flintstones Motown Christmas
A Flintstones holiday adventure interspersed with Christmas songs by Motown greats. It was a fun listen… once. Oddly the story revolves around the Flintstone's and Rubbles taking a festive trip to New Rock City, not Detroit, or whatever the stone age nomenclature would have been.
Bill Doggett - 12 songs of Christmas
Jazz / R&B pianist whose career spanned seven decades offers a dozen holiday tunes on the electric organ in the collection from 1958, though half the songs are sourced from a shorter 1954 album. Light Rotation
Christmas Songs (Tower TWK-6)
Vintage album of Christmas carols sung in Chinese. I have no other information, though I assume someone shared it on the web and that’s where I found it.
Boots Randolph with Tommy Newson’s Jazztet - Christmas At Boots' Place
Decent collection from the 90's but nothing worth seeking out.
20 Preferidas Natal
Pretty good compilation from Brazil. The songs are definitely on the vintage side, I can only assume they're well known holiday faves in Brazil. I’ve pulled a few tunes into my 2020 listening library.
Richard Keys Biggs - Christmas Bells
Bells (and organ). Nicely done for this sort of thing.
