Edition #014 - The Christmas Special

Edition 014

This is the Christmas special for The Jazz Mixer podcast. Some of the tunes may harken back to the "Standards in Jazz" Christmas shows that aired on WSIE. I also recall a gimmick I did while I was morning DJ at WSIE: playing Christmas tunes when the high temperature on the previous day was 90 degrees or warmer.

Artists featured: Marvin Cohen, Gary Dammer and Friends, Glenn Miller and His Orchestra, Ella Fitzgerald, The Dave Brubeck Quartet, Vince Guaraldi, The Count Basie Orchestra, Joanie Caro, the Manhattan Transfer and Rob McConnell and The Boss Brass. 

Running time: One hour, 13 minutes and seven seconds.
