Reviews:
''Snowfall: The Tony Bennett Christmas Album'' is a 1968 studio album by Tony Bennett, it is Bennett's first Christmas album. The album was arranged by Robert Farnon.
Though friends since the early 1950s, Bennett and Farnon had not recorded together before, Bennett having such reverence for Farnon's work that he felt he "wasn't ready...(and) not developed enough as an artist to record with him". Farnon, who normally recorded in London, came to New York for one of the two sessions that produced this album. Six tracks were recorded in New York, and four in London for ''Snowfall''.
In Bennett's autobiography he recalls that the New York session was attended by such notable American arrangers as Don Costa, Marion Evans and Torrie Zito, all curious to see how Farnon worked. Quincy Jones subsequently threw a party for Farnon in New York, at the party there were so many famous musicians that Jones joked "If a bomb goes off in this apartment, there won't be anymore records made!".
The CD reissue contained an extra track, "I'll Be Home for Christmas", recorded live on ''The Jon Stewart Show'' in 1994.
Bennett's second Christmas album, ''A Swingin' Christmas (Featuring The Count Basie Big Band)'' was released in 2008. - Wikipedia
