"A Christmas Garland of Jazz" December 25, 2009 INTERNET ONLY

(Week 192)

I'm pleased to present this RADIOLA! as a Christmas gift to my listeners--a sampler of excellent jazz, hot dance, and vocal selections that never go out of season. These are all original transfers from recordings obtained through recent record auctions and from wonderful heirloom discs graciously donated by listener Marc in South Carolina.

Since WHCL is on Winter Break, this is an internet-only program, with streaming on my Live365 station and now available for download in 128k mp3 format here: PART 1 and PART 2.

Have a great holiday, and be sure to check RADIOLABLOG next week for my four-hour New Year's Eve celebration. This will be available for download to play over the course of New Year's Eve in any time zone.
