Episode 14, Jazz for the Holidays

This last program of 2017 includes lots of Christmas and winter holiday music. Some great renditions of familiar and not so familiar tunes.  Also one for Ramadan, Hannukah, and Chalica (tune in to find out what the latter holiday is). You’ll hear: Charlie Parker, Bill Evans, Miles Davis with Bob Dorough, Ella Fitzgerald, John Eidsvoog, Shuffle Demons, Carri Coltrane, Salah Ragab and the Cairo Jazz Band, Kenny Ellis, Wesley Collett-Taylor, Dexter Gordon, Barbra Lica, The Darylectones, Mike Rud,, Ahmad Jamal. You’ll also hear the chord that journalist Adam Ragusea claims is used in most Christmas songs and makes them sound “Christmasy”.
