Day After Christmas Playlist!

Norman Rockwell

I promised something special for Christmas on the 12/16 broadcast. Since there were so many Christmas jazz playlists posted this year, I opted for a Day After Christmas Playlist! Music to recover & reflect by... and help you to get "Carol of the Bells" out of your head. 17 tracks that run about 90 minutes. Hope you dig, and if you do - please share! It's a Youtube playlist, and all tracks were commercial free when I checked. Below the link is a list of songs in case you want to make it on another preferred music site. Happy Holidays! - Kendo

"Band Practice" - Michael Wheeler

Visit the artist's website!

Rescue show! Every few months the jazz director sets out boxes of cds that did not get added to our library for anyone to cull through. The rest get tossed. That's the harsh reality of jazz in the new millennium. So many people are making albums, some of them great, some of them not so great (lots of them not so great, truthfully...). Each time I leave the station with arms full. Last week was one of those days, so this week I'm playing tracks from some of these "rescues". The result is a show that is largely recent releases. I'm down with that! We'll also dig on a Christmas jazz cut here and there. I'm actually in the 'spirit' this year! w00t! All that and plenty of brand new releases. Tune in from 3-7pm EST on WFCF 88.5FM or listen online for free on iHeart. See you then! - Kendo
