++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A boy was born on Christmas,
to bring peace to the world

A boy was born on Christmas,
to teach Love to the world.

Sometimes I think, that Man has forgotten this young boy.
This boy was born on Christmas, to bring peace to the world.

How sad he'd be this Christmas, to see men fight in this world,
how sad he'd be this Christmas, to see hate grow in this world.

I wish that he could come back, and show us love again,
reborn again on Christmas, and bring peace to the world.

// from the album "Spend This Holiday With Me" (1969)
by the Anita Kerr Singers

Cup of Jazz aka Jazzylectro started djing in Berlin Bars and Clubs in 2005 - with a record by Fred Astaire. Maybe that's why Jazz became a major influence for him. In his dj-sets he often combines Electro sounds whith those from the eras of Swing and Latin Jazz, calling his style 'Jazzylectro' - kickin' beats from HipHop to House and Drum'n'Bass, mixed with delicious jazzy vibes. At Berlin Swing events he creates a set with BigBand-Swing bombs, Dixieland and Charleston rockers. As a journalist for different newspapers he regurlarly interviews celebrities, djs and producers of the music he's got in his record bag.
