Snazzy Jazzy Christmas Jazz You've Never Heard! Vol. III

Continuing on... "Blitzen" (Joe Wilder on trumpet) by Leonard Feather & Ralph Burns is the earliest track (1954). The Modern Jazz Quartet's "England's Carol" is the other earlier track (1960). Aside from a few 80s & 90s tracks, the rest are 00s.

I don't think I could pick one track over them all. Wynton Marsalis' "We Three Kings of Orient Are" would be right up there though, at a mesmerizing 9 minute tour-de-force. Nary a moment of boredom or reaching for the fast-forward button. Gabriel Latchin Trio's "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is another to take note. Tia Fuller's "Little Drummer Boy" is another worthy addition to the many covers.

Vince Guaraldi Trio's "Skating (#3, take 7)" is close to the original release, that you may not notice a difference. Mark Shane's X-Mas Allstars' "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" and Alban Darche's "Hark!" are a couple more excellent tracks. They're all good. Enjoy!

Boob Vision: 16 '70s Funkin' Groovin' Instro Rare Gems

As the title implies, a little over an hours' worth of groovy funkin'. James Brown's "Straight Ahead (extended outro mix)" is a big, big fav. Jimmy McGriff's take on the bubblegum classic, "Sugar, Sugar" is probably my favorite cover of Sugar, Sugar. Charles Earland's "Warp Factor 8" will warp you to funky land. The Rimshots' "Born Funky" is another doozy. And so is Harold Alexander's "New York Sister." This is one of my best classic funky mixes. Enjoy!
