Manilow personally selected all ten songs for this special album which was produced and arranged by Manilow and co-produced by Scott Erickson. "In the Swing of Christmas" features traditional Americana songs flavored with some Manilow surprises, including his exclusive rendition of "Silver Bells," featuring 26 background vocals - all recorded by Manilow.
"In the Swing of Christmas" is available only at Hallmark Gold Crown stores November through December 2007 and features two jazz trios, The Randy Kerber Trio and MaD FUSION, led by Matt Hershkowitz.
Other tracks include "Christmastime is Here," "Count Your Blessings" and "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas." Manilow says he had a great time making the album. "My concept was small, sexy, romantic," said Manilow, "an album that you can play all through the Christmas season."
