🎶🍷☕ LmLw Radio Weekly Vibes

December 22 to December 28, 2025 |

Music • Wine • Coffee • Culture | ✨ Holiday Glow • Warm Beats • Real Community ✨

🎉 Welcome to This Week’s Groove Fam 🎄✨

It is Monday, December 22, and we are officially in that beautiful in-between space where the year slows down, the lights feel warmer, and moments matter a little more. The holidays invite reflection, reconnection, and ritual, and at Love Music Love Wine Radio, this is our favourite kind of season. A season where the music stretches out, the pours are intentional, the coffee is brewed slowly, and community comes first ❤️🎶🍷☕.

As we move toward Christmas and the final days of 2025, we are leaning fully into the vibe. Expect soulful jazz, deep funk, rare grooves, disco boogie, blues, and unexpected musical moments woven together with wines and coffees from around the world. Pop-up streams are part of the magic this week, so keep your notifications close 👀✨

This week also carries a powerful milestone. Jazz is not Dead EP.4 is our final jazz statement of 2025, bold, fearless, warm, and expansive. From the cosmic brilliance of Herbie Hancock and Weather Report to the funk authority of Maceo Parker, Grover Washington Jr., Marcus Miller, and Bob James, this finale spans jazz fusion milestones and forward-looking grooves. It brings together Billy Cobham, Pat Metheny, Jean-Luc Ponty, Jaco Pastorius, Medeski Martin and Wood, Jamiroquai, Guru, St Germain, Thievery Corporation, Kokoroko, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Nicholas Payton, spiritual jazz, Afro-Caribbean energy, rare grooves, and modern jazz-funk. This playlist is movement, history, rebellion, joy, and comfort wrapped into one long seasonal embrace 🎷🔥Pour something good, turn it up, gather your people, and let the sound carry you through the holidays and beyond because jazz is not dead. It is alive, evolving, and still leading the conversation. 👉 Listen herehttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/4fxl7sptfpQ8NjzeOPpNaj?si=ePnHv-EGTNiLLn64jtxx2w
