Merry Christmas to everyone.

Cool Yule
This song was originally recorded by Louie Armstrong and was written by Steve Allen, the original host of NBC's Tonight Show, long before Carson and Leno. This song took a lot of work, big band jazz is not a style I have recorded in before. The piano part was way out of my expertise so Joey Ross was nice enough to add the piano to my recording. The horns I played on keyboard with AMG Kick Ass Brass software, trombone,trumpet, alto and tenor saxophone parts.
Piano by Joey Ross

From Coney Island to The Sunset Strip, Somebody's gonna make a happy trip
Tonight, while the moon is bright
He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys, To give the groanies all the girls and boys,
So dig, Santa comes on big
He'll come a callin' when the snows the most, When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast
And you gonna flip when Old Saint Nick, Takes a lick on the peppermint stick
He'll come a flyin' from a higher place and fill the stockings by the fire place
So you'll, have a yule that's cool

I have the Louis Armstrong recording and I love it. Great song. And you've done a fantastic cover of it. The horns sound incredibly realistic. Great drum programming too. And kudos to your ivory tinkling friend. Well done.
