Anachronistic? Defiantly. The blood on these guitars is Chuck Berry red. The production reverbs with the heavenly choirs, sleigh bells and mausoleum echoes of Phil Spector's wailing Wall of Sound. The lyric lines are long and chatty, with more pomp to the bomp. Bat II is the '50s, '60s and '70s, packed in steel and wrapped in Mylar. Or go back even further.

With the exception of two instrumental tracks that sound like refugees from some other album, Torme serves up a convivial mix of jazzy standards like Sleigh Ride, traditional carols like Good King Wenceslas and elegant ballads like Christmastime Is Here. All go down as easily as nicely spiked eggnog on a chilly December...
