Cool YuleKurt Elling
Cool Yule is a Christmas song released in 1953 by Steve Allen, who was active as a television personality, actor, writer, and artist.
The song gained worldwide popularity when it was released by jazz vocalist Louis Armstrong, affectionately known as Satchmo.
This time, we’ve chosen the version by jazz vocalist Kurt Elling, known for his baritone voice and scat singing.
Zat You, Santa ClausLouis Armstrong
Louis Armstrong is so famous as a trumpeter that you could say there isn’t anyone in the jazz world who doesn’t know him.
‘’Zat You, Santa Claus’ is a hidden gem where, in addition to his trumpet playing, his gravelly voice sounds incredibly cool.
While some people might associate jazz numbers with a stylish, laid-back vibe, this song is packed with Armstrong’s signature, rugged, masculine charm within that sweet jazz atmosphere.
It’s highly recommended for anyone who’s grown tired of pop-leaning jazz!
