So, we've got our usual group of holiday favorites. But wait! There's more. We've got a new Eight Track Christmas from guitarist Dave Stryker, a stupendous live Jazzy Christmas concert from trumpeter Paolo Fresu (and I mean truly stupendous! I've listened to the CD at least six times while putting this show together). And it's a Blue Note 50th anniversary of the Duke Pearson Merry Ole Soul Christmas sessions. Time to sit by the fireplace (real or virtual), nurse of cup of grog and try to get in the spirit of the season. Happy Holidays to all! Enjoy the show.

Thanks to our top listeners of the week in: Strasbourg (France), Chicago & Baton Rouge (US), Kiev (Ukraine) and Rome (Italy).
