Playlist for 12-18-12 WFCF - Jazz Greats

Picked up this vinyl for a quarter at a thrift store today!

Holidays have made the past week a bit hectic - so I didn't pre-plan the show. Lots of vinyl from both the WFCF vault and my own collection, plenty of Christmas jazz and a fair smattering of jazz from the Tampa area. Last show of 2012! Thanks for tuning in and/or stopping by! Merry Christmas - DJ Kendo
