I wouldn't call it jazz but I got a ps3 for the family for xmas and nothing beats hearing my teenage daughters singing and playing along with songs some of which I've heard before. Now if they get some Dead songs on there I might join in. When nobody else is home of course.
Not "Christmas Jazz" - Jazz for Christmas
OK! Lets tally the loot! (yes, I'm 39 going on 6) Two years ago my wife, with only minor directions on where to look, came up with a pair of NOS Phillips tubes for my cd player. This year it was strictly vinyl and I'm a happy boy sitting in a pile of shredded wrapping paper and ribon. Seven spanking new 12-inch vinyl discs (well, 14 if you count the double LPs) Good stuff!
*Miles Davis, ROund About Midnight (Somehow after 15 years of collecting jazz, I managed to never hear this record)
*Nat King Cole, After Midnight (newly reissued on Capital)
*Jazz at the Pawnshop
*Bud Powell, Time Waits
*Horace Silver, Blowin the Blues Away
*Sonny Rollins meets Coleman Hawkins
*Ben Webster - Soulville
All on nice heavy high-quality vinyl.
I also managed to find a still sealed Analogue Productions 45 RPM of Monk's Music that was present to myself (I was really good this year) but I won't mention that to the wife.
How'd you guys do?
