The first Tiny Desk Concert came in 2008 after NPR’s Bob Boilen and Stephen Thompson left South by Southwest frustrated that they couldn't hear the music over the crowd noise. Thompson joked that the musician, folk singer Laura Gibson, should just perform at Boilen's desk.

In December 1970, this iconic Christmas album by Willie Colón and Héctor Lavoe hit stores, becoming one of the best-selling records in Latin music history. Its cover was designed by the legendary Izzy Sanabria, Fania’s creative director, who shaped the ‘Deluxe Style’ of New York’s salsa movement.

“A Charlie Brown Christmas” by Vince Guaraldi, released in 1965, remains one of my favorite Christmas albums. This unique soundtrack was an unexpected blend of traditional holiday tunes and contemporary jazz, serving as the first introduction to jazz for millions of people.

“Carol of the Bells” was written in 1916 by the Ukrainian composer Leontovich, based on four notes and the lyrics of an ancient pagan song of good wishes. In 1936, Wilhousky, an American composer, adapted new Christmas-themed lyrics. A famous adaptation was made by Maestro Williams for Home Alone.
