Jazz Bastard Podcast 231 - Hard Sledding

Like musicians in every genre, jazzers can't resist the lure of making Christmas and/or holiday themed albums from time to time.  Some of the efforts turn into timeless classics.  But let's be real - most of 'em don't.  We talk about two recent efforts, an oddity from the 'ninties, and one of Capitol records many repackaging of their back catalog for holiday commerce.  Straps yourselves in, elves.   Steven Feifke, Benny Benack III– SEASON’S SWINGIN’ GREETINGS; Johnny Costa – CHRISTMAS REFLECTIONS – SOLO PIANO; Various Artists - A CAPITOL CHRISTMAS; Nora Jones – I DREAM OF CHRISTMAS.
