Getting Mellow on Christmas

Getting Down With Charlie Brown

When I first started working in Public Radio, I was music director at a radio station that aired a lot of jazz. One of the clubs I used to frequent was The Jazz Estate. Saying the bar was cozy may have overstated its size. I think they could have seated 25 to 30 between the bar, tables, and booths. The authenticity, and intimacy of the setting was incredibly mellow.

This morning I was searching for Christmas Jazz and stumbled across this performance of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" recorded at the Jazz Estate. 

This year I'm sharing this with you. If you have time, lean back with your favorite holiday beverage. Enjoy! Merry Christmas. 

Maybe we'll stop by the Jazz Estate on our next trip to Milwaukee.
