  • Steve Allen brought the alternative culture of his time to television. On his show, he played jazz blues piano behind Kerouac reading from "On the Road," and he often featured Hollywood Nature Boy Gypsy Boots. We future hippies, still in school, loved his show. This set of lyrics is a case in point, and no one could deliver them like Satch.

  • 1953 and swings like mad!! ..merry yule -rhsc nyc

  • who'd of thought that a middle aged comedian could write cool jazz.... awesome song!!

  • Serendipity!

    

  • I love this song....

  • @DavignonBaby This would be considered swing music which is big band music. Have you ever tried blues music? It is awesome too! As a matter of fact I have never been a Cyndi Lauper fan but she released a blues cd this year...totally awesome. Check it out I think you will like it also. You're 1 awesome young man. If only we could change this generation and get them away from this rap. Don't get me wrong because I like older rap i.e. MC Hammer. I like music with meaning more.

  • Love playing the drums along with this ! COOL Yule is right !!

  • @DavignonBaby its jazz , im 13 and i love this music so much especially at christmas thats the best time of year for jazzy music!! :D <33

  • It just doesn't get any cooler than Cool Yule!  Also listen to Kurt Elling's version. It swings too.

  • @DavignonBaby i feel exactly the same... im 19 and love old music and films... as for the genre im guessing it would come under either jazz or xmas x
