Despite all the Christmas joys, I honestly don't like this time of year. It's freezingly cold here in Minneapolis and my car died this morning, forcing me to spend an extra long thirty minutes with frozen fingers. I'm going to buy a pair of gloves and leave it in the car now. Anyway, below are a few Christmas greetings from some record labels with the holiday spirit

It's that time of the year: Black Friday, this Friday! It's tradition, I'm heading out in the bleak morning of Black Friday to these stores: Best Buy, Target, and Wal-Mart. It seems the big thing this year are big LCD or Plasma television. I am not in the market for a new TV, but some of these prices ($400 for a 40 inch 1080p sounds really cheap) makes it hard to not buy it.

One reason I like jazz is how incorporates other musical genres like Blues, Soul and Samba. Does Hip Hop have a future in this stream? Nas certainly floated the question when he released his album, “Hip Hop is Dead.” His statement wasn’t if Hip Hop is viable but was it more than a product. Can it survive as an independent art form or like disco will it be gobbled by a music industry looking for steady revenue?

Allen Toussaint is one of those musicians you may have never heard of but you know his work. His collaborations run from Patti LaBelle and Otis Redding to The O’Jays and The Rolling Stones. He wrote the Grammy nominated song, “Southern Lights”, famously sung by country singer, Glen Campbell. Recently he did an album with Elvis Costello and even appeared with Cyndi Lauper on David Letterman. Songwriter, producer, musician, there isn’t a facet or genre Toussaint hasn’t touched in his forty years in the business, but what drew my attention was an album he released a couple years ago, “The Bright Mississippi.”
