Vintage Christmas Carols, Crooner-Style | A City Apartment Above the Snowy Avenue

Deck the Halls opens a run of 22 traditional Christmas carols sung the way a 1950s crooner would: a warm baritone over piano, upright bass, brushed drums and strings, with a few carols swinging out in big band style. After it come The First Noel, The Twelve Days of Christmas, Ding Dong Merrily on High, O Holy Night. A 1950s city apartment high above a snowy avenue on a Christmas afternoon, painted like a magazine cover: tall windows onto lit brick buildings and old yellow taxis far below, a tree with red and gold glass ornaments, a velvet sofa, a wooden console radio with a glowing dial, a small fire on the side wall, and low golden sun on the snow outside. 00:00 | 1.
