With a warm, wood-paneled vintage glow, a new Christmas collection inhabits the space formerly reserved for top-flight crooners like Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett: blending pop and jazz into comfort food for your ears. While few of the “next-gen" (as the album's publicity tag puts it) performers here will be known to those unfamiliar with the contemporary New York City scene, their chops are undeniable and the arrangements flattering to the performers' strengths.

"Swinging in the Holidays is a perfect package of music to get you in the Holiday Spirit" – Jersey Jazz

"Swinging In the Holidays’ is a simply great CD… And Wyatt Michael, BTW, has a sense of time and swing that calls to mind Sinatra at his best. I want to hear a LOT more of him. Superb stuff! — Dave Becker, WZUM Pittsburgh PA; Syndicated PUB Jazz.
