Less hauntingly beautiful as his initial Christmas LP, this is still plenty enjoyable.  Heck, by 1983, Fahey had released enough Xmas records that I quite literally can’t keep track, especially since at least one (or possibly two) got repackaged with different covers.  Anyway, check this out if you liked any of the others.John Fahey – Popular Songs Of Christmas & New Year’s: Guitar Instrumentals (1983)

Hey, remember when this blog featured Brazilian music?  Me neither!  Well, the relative inutility of music blogs in 2023 notwithstanding, I’m going to make a New Year’s resolution to start visiting Brazil more often, sonically at least, in 2024.  Why not start early with this classic recording from Brazilian jazz outfit Azymuth, recorded in Brazil but not released there, this was originally issued by Milestone. It is presented as part of the Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf series by Craft Records in a limited run.Azymuth – Telecommunication (1982) (2023 Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf)
