‘Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells’ – oh yes, there’ll be a whole set of that on this Tuesday’s and Saturday’s Christmas Phantom Dancer plus more Jingle Bells besides – live jazzy 1930s – 1950s radio versions from Benny Goodman for the NBC Rhythm Thesaurus in 1936 to the Chico Hamilton Quintet on Stars In Jazz in 1958. After all, when you hear the Phantom Dancer on Saturday 24 December from 6pm, it will be Christmas Eve. See the full play list after the Video of the Week
And there’s tinsel on this week’s Video of the Week, too. A Christmas spiritual. Sister Rosetta Sharpe, her great soulful voice and gospel guitar with trio, singing Up Above My Head, live on French TV in 1964. Enjoy!
Next Tuesday and Saturday, tune into the New Year’s Eve Phantom Dancer to get you all ready for the fireworks!
