Music therapy

...for myself.

It's been one of the rougher weekends I can remember. What sort of music do I like in that situation? Well... brassy, for one. Totally brassy. Gotta swing. Take a different perspective on something all too familiar. Upbeat, but not so raucous that it keeps me from unwinding. And a goofy streak never hurts matters.

So where will I find all these things in a Christmas song? Well... 1990 would be one place. Specifically, Wynton Marsalis and his septet, with non-vocalese vocals by Jon Hendricks. Here we go.
