Turkey Tunes: Music to Baste, Bake, and Carve By

 Whether you're looking for a soundtrack for your I-can't-believe-this-turkey-isn't-defrosted-yet blues or you just want to jazz things up a bit, here's a round-up of several YouTube playlists we've put together over the years featuring NEA Jazz Masters, National Heritage Fellows, and several of the musicians who've stopped by the Art Works blog to say hello. Visit the NEA YouTube channel to check out even more playlists.  Even Heritage Fellows Get the Blues: Paradoxically sometimes you need a little blues to turn that one more trip to the grocery store frown upside down. Brrrr...A Wintry Playlist: We think this playlist will go perfectly with your favorite blankie. Art Talks Playlist: Pop + Jazz + Folk, Oh My! We told you we'd get Josh Groban and the Carolina Chocolate Drops to your Thanksgiving one way or the other. Art Talks Playlist: Strings and Voices: Let's face it, a little Renee Fleming makes everything better, even the lumpy mashed potatoes. Love in a Time of Jazz: Here are more than two dozen NEA Jazz Masters singing and playing songs of love (and maybe just a little heartbreak) to get you in the mood for love and turkey.
