Bunch of wankers shredding some christmas tunes. Awesome stuff for a 16 year old when I first got it. Still some excellent tunes on there, Jeff Beck's "Amazing Grace", Eric Johnson's "First Nowell" and especially Steve Morse's "Joy to the World."

This is also the only time of year where I can get away with blasting Coltrane (albeit only Greensleeves.)

I've got a Christmas jazz/blues anthology that I like to spin around Christmas, but nothing quite does it like Phil Spector's Christmas album. (You know, the old one. Before he took to shooting people.)

[John B]

"What Can You Give a Wookie For Christmas (When He Already Owns a Comb)" epitomizes the holiday spirit to me.

Spring Is Here....wishful thinking...

This should be coming in the mail any day now - I can't wait.

I am partial to Mel Torme's version of "The Christmas Song" on the Decca In Hollywood disc.

The Beach Boys' Christmas Album

My favorite "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire" is Johnny Mathis'. That was the one I grew up with.

Michael Franks - Watching the Snow

This came out the year before last, but I didn't learn about it until last year. I didn't buy it then (it was already getting late into the season). I bought it this year from Amazon along with a book I've been wanting for quite some time when I saw that BMG/YourMusic wouldn't carry it.

Great record, if you're in a laid back mood.

[ghost of miles]

"What Can You Give a Wookie For Christmas (When He Already Owns a Comb)" epitomizes the holiday spirit to me.

Wow, you actually have that? Last year a three-minute montage from the TV special surfaced on the Internet... again, "wow" the only response I could muster.

This year:

Stan Kenton, A MERRY CHRISTMAS

Shorty Rogers, THE SWINGIN' NUTCRACKER

Frank Sinatra, A JOLLY CHRISTMAS

Fats Navarro, "Bebop Carol"

Sauter-Finegan, "Midnight Sleighride"

Dexter Gordon, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"

...and, of course, the Organissimo holiday tunes, both old & new.

[vibes]

This is an excellent recording of some really great music.
