Briefly: Simon and Garfunkel, Wu-Tang Clan, George Huff

Simon & Garfunkel 's 2003-04 reunion tour has spawned a deluxe, double-CD/DVD package dubbed "Old Friends: Live On Stage," due on Nov. 30. Warner Bros. will also issue the two-CD set and DVD separately.

Material for the collections was culled from the duo's Dec. 3-8, 2003 performances at New Jersey's Continental Airlines Arena and New York's Madison Square Garden.

Besides live performances of well-known songs, the CD features the bonus track "Citizen of the Planet," originally written by Paul Simon in the early '80s to be a part of the duo's repertoire, but never recorded until Art Garfunkel added vocals for this release.

All nine members of the Wu-Tang Clan are expected to show up for a Nov. 12 gig at Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, NJ. It would mark the hip-hop collective's first East Coast performance in five years.

George Huff, who was among the finalists in the most recent season of the television talent show "American Idol," will issue an EP dubbed "My Christmas" on Nov. 9.

The CD features the standards "Silent Night," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," "Go, Tell It on the Mountain," and a medley of "Angels We Have Heard on High" and "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing."
