Playlist for 12-17-2019 WFCF - Santa's Mixed Bag!

New line-up, new fusion-y sound their original prog fans didn't dig...

On this show we listened to all kinds of goodness including a few requests, new jazz, holiday cuts, lengthy selections from the fusion era and even some jazz rock from the Netherlands! Also in the mix - some early Christmas presents courtesy of Jim Driscoll including 2 from Miles and the new Jazz Dispensary release! Thanks to all who tuned in to the last show of 2019.
