O Holy Night

This year Kelley and I handed out a few mix CD's of our favorite Christmas music to friends at a party we went to. One track in particular I'm sure not many people have heard before, but it's the one track I can play over and over. It's a rendition of O Holy Night by an insane jazz musician known as Trombone Shorty. I'm not an emotional person per say, but this one song just makes you feel how fortunate you are. When this song goes on I usually have to stop what I'm doing and stop thinking about whatever is going on in my head.

There is one reason why this song brings so much emotion to me. There was a show on NBC not too long ago called Studio 60 (On The Sunset Strip). I honestly thought it was by far one of the best shows on television. Maybe it's because I used to work in tv studios and it reminded me of that. But, apparently, 30 Rock was doing better for NBC and Studio 60 got cancelled. Before it was canned, there was the Christmas episode where Trombone Shorty played O Holy Night with a jazz group from New Orleans. They played in front of images of the destruction in New Orleans. You may have to know the show to understand parts of this clip, but the song and the images were amazing. The part that gets me is this one sign that says what someone wants for Christmas, so heart breaking. For me it was one of the most amazing moments in television that I've ever seen and I just can't forget.

So with that said, Here's the only clip I could find on YouTube that has the dialogue in it which makes the clip complete. It also has some guys info on it since he has it posted, just ignor that. Oh, and if anyone can't figure out what to get me for Christmas, the complete series of Studio 60 on DVD would be awesome. Enjoy the clip:
