A brand new initiative from Universal Music Australia in conjunction with SBS, themed by presenting 7 of the most famous songwriters (the Gershwins, Harold Arlen, Cole Porter, etc) in definitive interpretations from the jazz legends, plus a disc of Christmas fare.

These nifty two-for-one packages are eye-catchingly designed and have all the "hits" from all the "who's who" of the jazz world, both vocalists and instrumentalists - Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, Billie Holliday, Cleo Laine, Sarah Vaughan, Cassandra Wilson... and even introducing the gorgeous Matt Dusk (on Cool Yule ). The list goes on and on and on and all of it nice and easy and lush
