i sort of go out of my way to download christmas concerts, even though my wife hates xmas jazz. i ran across this one lurking with “non-seasonal” jazz, so i gave it a listen before moving it to the xmas jazz collection. super! this may be my favorite so far and while i don’t think this one will change her mind, it might change yours. so here it is — christmas in april! a little present under the tree for international jazz day. and it might be a good day to buy a cd or download, and give a little april xmas cheer to a jazz musician.
also, on sarah hughes’ site, she has links to several of shows from 2018 (hosted on the internet archive).
