Monday December 15, 2008 Playlist

The end of 2008 is fast approaching and the holiday season is upon us. Lots to do, people to see and food to eat. Live jazz is of course in the lineup. I played a nice set from The N.Y. Voices since I went to hear them on the weekend. They put on a great show and I ended buying their new CD "A Day Like This". They all autographed the CD for me and it is a valuable addition to my collection!

I also played a couple of sets of Christmas music as a prelude to next week when my show will be all Christmas music with a bit of batucada thrown in for good measure. I promise it won't be boring elevator Christmas music. It'll be fun and it will help to get you in the holiday spirit.

I'll be at the 4th Annual Fil-Am (Filipino-American) JazzFest at The Catalina Bar and Grill Jazz Club in Hollywood on the 27th. There will be some great jazz that night with Tateng Katindig, Charmaine Clamor (the creator of "jazzipino") and Mon David among other amazing Filipino musicians! I will be playing some of their music on future shows and I'm sure you will enjoy them.

Tell your friends and family to listen if you like the show and check out the other shows on kuci.org. Support live jazz and keep listening. Jazz on!
