Gypsy Swing Christmas?

Anyone familiar with any Christmas CDs that have the instrumentation and flavor of Gypsy Jazz and swing?

I'm not sure about Xmas CDs, but the Hot Club of San Francisco is doing a couple of Christmas shows including A Cool Yule at the Napa Opera House on Dec. 19, Napa, CA; and December 21 at the Sunnyvale Theater, Sunnyvale CA. Just noticed, HCSF has a Cool Yule CD for sale on their web site!

Thanks, Jon and Michael. I'll get one of these myself and try to drop a couple hints to my wife and kids.

There's also Django Bells CD by the Gypsy Hombres. Check out their version of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer as a tango in G minor...

It's not jazz manouche but I've uploaded a christmas mix on my youtube channel the other night. There is a lot of good music in there. It's 2 hours and worth the listen. If you hate christmas music then at least be sure to check out Blue Xmas (Bob Dorough & Miles Davis) it's at 0:37:35

I bought the Doug Munro CD that Michael has in the store last year and like it a lot.
