Song of the Day: Bounce of The Sugar Plum Fairy

Happy Friday everyone! Christmas is right around the corner and it will be here before you know it. Today’s song of the day is a classic by, John Kirby and His Orchestra from 1939. It is hard to beat old, Jazz Christmas music and the “Bounce of The Sugar Plum Fairy” is the feature today. The song was recorded by Columbia Records and the version we have today was digitized at 78 revolutions per minute. Click on the hyperlink if you want to hear the “record-player” style version (archive.org). I can just hear this being played in a jazz club in the 40’s. This is obviously an upbeat version of what Tchaikovsky came out with in 1892 for “The Nutcracker”. I hope you all enjoy this classic and have a great Friday!
