BWW Review: A SWINGING BIRDLAND CHRISTMAS is just that at Birdland


This close to the big day, you might already be flagging in your enthusiasm for the traditional old songs and carols attached to the upcoming holiday. Have no fear! There is an alternative. Birdland's 12th iteration of A Swinging Birdland Christmas will reinvigorate that waning spirit. The trio of Klea Blackhurst, Billy Stritch, and Jim Caruso, along with Steve Doyle on bass and Daniel Glass on drums, takes us on a bouncing ride through many tunes, most of which we layfolk won't know by rote. That's what makes this an extraordinary holiday offering. Eventually, we learn the reasons for quite a few song choices in this presentation... from movie musicals and the nostalgia for the TV Christmas specials of the 60s and 70s such as Andy Williams, The Osmonds, Cher. It is an aesthetic that is completely authentic to the artists on the stage, Misters Caruso and Stritch, and Ms. Blackhurst.
