Marty Ashby and Renée Govanucci of MCG Jazz are Christmas music enthusiasts. You can hear just a tiny bit of that this week with a broad sweep of holiday sounds we’re sure you’ll enjoy from the likes of Tony Bennett, Vince Guaraldi, Herb Alpert, Barbra Streisand and much more - Friday and Sunday night at 6!

Two featured albums -

Pianist Duke Pearson with his quarter, back from 1969: “Merry Ole Soul.,” and Dave Brubeck’s La Fiesta De La Posada.

The MCG Jazz Spotlight shines on holiday recordings done for the MCG Jazz record label. With the passing of Nancy Wilson this week, the importance of Christmas music in Miss Nancy’s MCG Jazz Legacy is especially poignant.

Having a legacy and a present scene of great talent in Pittsburgh makes jazz on the radio imperative. Support from listeners like you makes it possible.
