Letâs see if we can get a list going.
Here are my three:
Here are my three:
- Santa Claus is Coming to Town â Bill Evans / The Solo Sessions, Vol. 2 [Rec. 10JAN63; Rel. 1992]
- We Free Kings [essentially the same melody and changes as We Three Kings] â Roland Kirk / We Free Kings [Rec. 16, 17AUG61; Rel. JAN62]
- My Favourite Things â John Coltrane / My Favourite Things [Rec. 21OCT60; Rel MAR61. Note: My Favourite Things wasnât intended to be a Christmas song when initially introduced to the public in 1959. Rather, as I understand the story, it was an on-the-spot marketing / A&R decision to add it to Jack Jones' 1964 Christmas LP (based both on some of the lyrical content and to help plug the forthcoming musical). Of course, what this means is that Trane did not recorded it as an off-season Christmas song.]
