Gypsy Jazz Christmas Music?

Dedwood

Does anyone have any arrangements of popular Christmas songs for the gypsy jazz style guitar? I am looking for arrangements of The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) and Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. The only album I could find was The Gypsy Hombres "Django Bells", which while a good album, did not swing hard enough for my taste.

Salieri

I'm looking for it too...if someone got it please post it...

Someone posted a solo guitar arrangement of White Christmas to one of the yahoo gypsy jazz guitar groups a while ago...there's also a pdf of some sort of Christmas music book there that I haven't checked out; it's all guitar but not specifically Gypsy Jazz. (It's also available free from the publisher here with mp3 examples.) Here's the link to the yahoo group--you need to sign up to see the files...

I'm a huge sucker for Christmas music, and every winter I bust out the Christmas playlist and listen through it while making additions. I couldn't find any gypsy jazz Christmas music this season, though, and that was a big bummer to me. However, I just found out an album called Django Bells exists. I haven't given it a listen yet, but I'm pretty excited to see something like this exists. Once I listen to it, I'll let you guys know what it's like and if it's any good.

My girlfriend & i recorded a bunch of christmas songs, printed some CDs, & gave them to everyone, as a one size fits all christmas present this year. We called it Swingtastic Christmas. I'll gladly post them here for y'all to listen to if someone can just tell me how to put mp3s in a post....

I'm arranging a couple to Christmas tunes in GJ style as we speak. Of course, if it has to be done by December, we have to start recording in the summer, so please don't think I'm crazy for thinking about it so early!

No written arrangements, but I just discovered/downloaded an album available on iTunes from Hot Club of San Francisco called "Hot Club Cool Yule." Very neat stuff.

There is a version of "White Christmas" by Sarane Ferret et Le Quintette de Paris that is available on iTunes
