One way to keep the grinch away is hearing your favorite holiday tunes! After a long day of shopping, munching and wrapping, cozy up with a cup of hot chocolate and unwind with some of this season's best Christmas melodies. From Doug Munro's "A Very Gypsy Christmas" and Kurt Elling's "Cool Yule" to Michael Buble's "Christmas" and classics from Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra, holiday jazz awakes tonight at 8 and continues until 1am.

 After midnight early this morning the earth reached its official winter solstice, the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.  Tonight we'll celebrate the longest night, the returning sun and Hanukkah with songs of dreidels, the solstice and, of course, your favorite Christmas carols. Listen for some Paul Winter solstice celebration and Art Pepper playing for the winter moon.  Jazz awakes tonight at 8!
