Our countdown to Christmas hits Da 9 with the long-titled seasonal song "(Who Is My Baby Gonna Love All Winter) Now That Summer Is Gone" from 1936!

Red Norvo's band had a lot going for it, not the least of which was Red's own xylophone playing, which just gives his records a different sound!
For another version of the song, we have Woody Herman and his band on Decca:
This is very early in Woody Herman's bandleading career, as he had recently more or less taken over Isham Jones's band when Jones retired, but he and the band already sound solid!
