“White Christmas” – The Guitar Ensemble (Green Linnet – 1989)
Lovers of the rollicking rhythm guitars of the dance band Chic likely missed out on this super rare instrumental gem arranged and played by Nile Rodgers for the one-off compilation CD, Christmas Guitars (A Benefit for the National Coalition for the Homeless). Nile went incognito to create this virtuosic version, overdubbing three harmonically and rhythmically intricate guitar parts for the Irving Berlin chestnut made famous by Bing Crosby. Well-worth seeking out!
