Yep, it's that time of year to induct a new entry into the JazzWax Vintage Holiday Album Hall of Fame. This year marks the Hall's 17th season and one of JazzWax's oldest annual traditions.

This year's inductee is Christmastime by the Swingle Singers. First released by the Philips label in 1968, the album features the vocal group famous for singing notes and tones in counterpoint rather than lyrics. The a cappella group was formed by Ward Swingle in 1962 in France after his stretch as a member of Les Double Six, which included Mimi Perrin and Christiane Legrand, Michel Legrand's sister.

Known best for their interpretations of Renaissance and Baroque classical works, the Swingle Singers recorded this beautiful Christmas album in France with a jazz feel, produced and engineered by Pierre Fatosme. It's absolutely gorgeous, gentle and sophisticated with seasonal charm and grace.
