2.?Let The Jingle Bells Rock? - Sweet Tee
Known for her 'Love Rap' ?Why Did It Have To Be Me? (in LL Cool J's ?I Need Love? style), New York's Sweet Tee comes to thrown down a tune that acts as the complete oppostie to that rack Hip Hop ballad as we see that she rides the 'Amen' break and comes out with some fly rhymes that concentrate everything around warming imaginery that you tend to connect with Christmas time.

A History of Jazz just has got to be one of the most comprehensive programmes on the history of jazz that I have ever come across.
It is subtitled Bluesland A portrait In American Music. It shows the very heavy Blues influence on the original forms of jazz.
