Tony Bennett
Tony Bennett featuring the Count Basie Big Band, A Swingin Christmas (RPM/Columbia): Does this swing? Is snow white? The pairing of Bennett with Basies band, even a quarter-century after its namesakes death, is inspired and invigorating, in no small part thanks to razor-sharp arrangements by such swing vets as Bill Holman and Frank Foster. 3 ½ stars
