A
White Christmas with the New Foxtrot Serenaders was released
in 2006 as our CD seasonal equivalent of the 45rpm EP.
The songs so
popular at Christmas today go back a bit so get the Serenaders
treatment. Get in the party mood with Jingle Bells (written in 1857
so ours is a relatively modern version, including vocals by Graham and
Oz on the Swannee Whistle), and wind down with our Christmas Medley
including Winter Wonderland from the '30s, and Have yourself a
Merry Little Christmas, Rudolf and White Christmas
from the '40s. Click the icons here for a taster of
 Jingle
Bells and the
Christmas
Medley.
Our latest full CD is Nice Work
If You Can Get It. Listen to excerpts
below: as usual they are quite short and not representative of the high quality of the digital wax
cylinders used to capture and wring out every last ounce of atmosphere
from the sessions, but it should give those with wind up modems a
fighting chance of getting to listen to the music before the meter
runs out.

for
the excerpt from the list below. The file size after the icon gives an
idea how long the excerpt is (and how long you might wait until you can
hear the excerpt without blips), although we couldn't compress the
vocal tracks too much as it makes Graham sound all lit up.
