Have A Holly, Jazzy Christmas
by Kurt Ellenberger
In my music history classes, particularly in November and December, students have often asked me about the relationship between jazz and Christmas: “Why are so many popular Christmas songs so jazzy?"

Spinifex, Angelica Sanchez / Camila Nebbia Duo, & Rob Mazurek
by Maurice Hogue
The unpredictable but always powerful Dutch sextet, Spinifex, is releasing its latest album in North America, Undrilling The Hole, so it will be interesting to see if the band gains some traction in North America. Hopefully it will; they're a no-prisoners-taken ensemble. Brooklyn's I-Beam was the venue for a most interesting and perhaps inevitable hook-up for ...
