Here’s a holiday favorite from a man who’s sung his share of standards throughout the years. Tony Bennett comes out swinging with the big band sounds of the Count Basie Orchestra on this new recording from his latest album. Bennett sails through the vocals, conjuring up those classic images of snow-covered meadows and the elusive Parson Brown while the band cruises through the melody in an elegant stride.
