As I began choosing tunes, I realized that if you poke around enough, you can find some lesser known Christmas songs, whether they are from artists writing an original tune for their Christmas album;&amp;nbsp; perhaps something from the gospel or liturgical canon; or a jazz version of an R&amp;amp;B or Pop classic. In any event, I kept looking until I found an hour plus of Christmas jazz that is unfamiliar to your ear. Who knows \u2013 they just might become some of your new favorites. How many \u201cRudolph\u201ds can one person take after all? And so Podcast 652 is \u201cThe Lesser Known Christmas Jazz Show\u201d, and features: Nils Landgren \u2013 \u201cChristmas Is\u201d Aaron Diehl \u2013 \u201cChristmas Star\u201d Susie Arioli \u2013 \u201cCall Collect on Christmas\u201d Wynton Marsalis \u2013 \u201cMary Had a Baby\u201d Duke Pearson \u2013 \u201cOld Fashioned Christmas\u201d Les McCann \u2013 \u201cMerry Christmas Baby\u201d Scott Healy-Glenn Alexander Quarter \u2013 \u201cChristmas Day\u201d Kurt Elling \u2013 \u201cThe Snow is Deep on the Ground\/Snowfall\u201d Matt Wilson\u2019s Christmas Tree-O \u2013 \u201cHappy Xmas (War is Over)\u201d Harry Connick Jr. \u2013 \u201cI Pray On Christmas\u201d John Pizzarelli \u2013 \u201cLet\u2019s Share Christmas\u201d Tianna Hall &amp;amp; Chris Cortez \u2013 \u201cThe Angels\u201d Manhattan Transfer \u2013 \u201cCaroling, Caroling\u201d Bobby Watson \u2013 \u201cVauncing Chimes\u201d ","author_name":"Straight No Chaser - A Jazz Show","author_url":"http:\/\/straightnochaserjazz.libsyn.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/7934402\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/29220413"}
