Another Side of Midnight - Softly, Gently
This Midnight is a little different. One of the places I like to stop by to relax with is the page of Tokyo Tones on YouTube. They have excellent mixes of lo-fi, chill, beats, anything you could want to hear for getting lost for a while.
One of their channels is 24/7 Chill Tokyo Nights. They play a lot of solo piano/modern classical/jazz/chill combos that I love to listen to especially in the mornings getting ready for work before the sun rises. I've wanted to do a set like it for a while and now here it is. It fits perfectly into my Midnight shows playlist.
Thank you to Tokyo Tones for the many hours I have walked or riden along with and hoping for many, many more. You can find the channel this is dedicated to at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCm5psDq0wc. I hope you enjoy my friends.

City Jazz: Best Of Romantic Smooth Jazz Collection was a series of four CDs, each containing two discs, that was released between 2008 & 2011 featuring artists under their labels. Mostly contemporary jazz with a touch of modern, these CDs are very, very hard to find outside of southeast Asia. No worries though, your Chef has imported them for us to enjoy.
Every weekend this month we’ll listen to the first CD of a sampler on Saturday and the second on Sunday. Today’s set is from Volume 2, CD 2 from 2008.

Sampling The Summer - Smooth Jazz (On A Summer's Day); Vol. 2 - Columbia - 2002
I promised this one to you a few weeks ago, and now it's here. Smooth Jazz (On A Summer's Day); Vol 1 was released by Columbia Records as a double CD sampler in 2000 but only in Europe and parts of the Middle East. Along with my June post of it, you can still find it on a couple of streaming services. But in 2002, they released a second volume which is very hard to find. No worries for us, because this is it. Please enjoy another Summer’s Day….

When It Hits - Funkin' On The Fourth 2024
Seven years ago, I posted a set like this as a one time only show. It went over so well that since then I have been making it an annual special for the Fourth of July holiday.
DON'T EXPECT SMOOTH TODAY! This is not what I usually mix: a good amount of funk, some fusion jazz and other things I cooked into the set. Today is a perfect day to play this while hanging with family and friends in the yard cooking good food and watching the fireworks. So for fun, I hope you enjoy this mix and Happy July Fourth.

Sampling The Summer - Smooth Jazz (On A Summer's Day); Vol. 1 - Columbia - 2000
As the Summer gets rolling, once again we’ll spend a few sets listening to out of print radio and record label samplers. Many were released either locally or by record stores and have never been heard by most Contemporary Jazz lovers. These are always fun to flashback with, so I hope you enjoy some time in The Kitchen with them.
First up this year is a Columbia Records double CD sampler that was released in 2000 but only in Europe and parts of the Middle East. Although this one can be found on a couple of streaming services, Columbia had a follow up to it in 2002 that’s hard to find. But not for us; we’ll also give that one a listen in a couple of weeks. Until then, enjoy this Summer’s Day….

Night Music with David Sanborn - A Night Sessions Special
I released my third show ever on October 30, 2015, and David Sanborn was in it. But by that time, I had already been following him for 35 years. He was one of the first Jazz artists I followed as a young teenager and I’ve never stopped. I’ve said it before; you always knew right away from his sound that it was Sanborn. He left us this past week with an incredible library of work that included countless appearances on so many other musicians’ work as well. I’ll miss him, we’ll all miss him. But we’ll always have this music to comfort us. Thank you David for everything you left for us and peace always…

The Deleted Sets - James Ingram - Remember The Dream
It was a surprise to many hearing today that James Ingram had passed at the age of 66. He was a two-time Grammy Award-winner & a two-time Oscar nominee for Best Original Song.
He had charted eight Top 40 hits on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart from the early 80s thru the early 90s, as well as 13 top 40 hits on the Hot R&B chart & 20 hits on the Adult Contemporary chart . He had two number-one singles on the Hot 100: first with Patti Austin, & 1982's "Baby, Come to Me" (my wife's and my prom song). "I Don't Have the Heart" became his second number-one in 1990 & was his only one as a solo artist.
He also recorded the song "Somewhere Out There" with Linda Ronstadt for the film An American Tail. He co-wrote "The Day I Fall in Love", from the film Beethoven's 2nd, and "Look What Love Has Done", from the motion picture Junior, which earned him nominations for Best Original Song from the Oscars, Golden Globes, and Grammy Awards in 1994 and 1995.
Thank you Mr. Ingram for giving us some beautiful music to remember you by...here's wishing you peace.

Music From The Smooth Jazz Kitchen - When I Was 24 (The Music from 1990)
I was an ordinary, average guy when I turned 24 on February 28th in 1990. It was an amazing time for jazz & pop music & I used to make mixtapes of my favorite tunes just like everyone else I knew. I still have a few lying around today.
But what if I had been on Mixcloud or hearthis back then? What would a typical week of The Smooth Jazz Kitchen have sounded like? Today, all these years later, we’ll find out. This show is made up of some of the best contemporary jazz from that year; many are deeper album cuts you probably haven’t heard for a very long time. For my birthday this week I give this gift to all of you, please enjoy this flashback to ’90.

Night Sessions - A Passion Remembered for Valentine's Day
Long before I even considered a series called Night Sessions, I made a couple of cassette mixtapes based off of several discs I had found at a store. They were the low cost, not famous artist, spa/relax style CDs you found back then at Target. The CD series was called Romantic Interludes. The tapes I made from them were romantic music for a time alone together...so you could say my Sessions evolved in time from these first two tapes.
For this year's Valentine's Day, I felt it was time to share them with you. So find someone you love, get close, and enjoy this very special show, as always with my love and thanks.

'Round Midnight - A Night Sessions New Years Eve - 2023
As has become our tradition in The Kitchen, here's my final set of 2023 to follow you through the night & into the new year...
For my eighth year of Night Sessions on New Years Eve, I again open with a different variation of Solitude as a tribute to Ron Cuzner who's radio show The Dark Side would not only be my New Year's night soundtrack, but would supply me with Jazz on so many nights to numerous to mention.
And just for a little fun; if you start this show at 10:30 pm. midnight, will roll over into 2024 with John Beasley's take on Auld Lang Syne playing in the background.
I want to thank you all for supporting my shows this past year & promise to bring you even more wonderful music all throughout 2024.

The Deleted Sets - Sade - The Vuture.com List of All Her Songs
From The Vuture.com;
73. “Sally,” Diamond Life (1984): This allegory for the Salvation Army displays an artist determined from the start to be socially engaged, but also one who hasn’t yet found out how to do it without being a bit preachy.
72. “Love Affair With Life,” “Your Love Is King” (1984): Spare vague lyrics mated to an all but rhythmless arrangement of horns and piano make for a listening experience that feels longer than it should be.
71. “War of the Hearts,” Promise (1985): A strong three- or four-minute song loses its savor after being stretched out to nearly seven minutes by an endless outro.
70. “Maureen,” Promise (1985): Based on a real-life friend of Sade whom she fell out with, the title figure of “Maureen” never really comes into focus, nor do we ever discover why they parted ways. “It’s hard to explain,” she sings, and so it’s even harder for listeners to learn how to care.
69. “Frankie’s First Affair,” Diamond Life (1984): Early on, Sade had a tendency to revert to third-person narration — which is not surprising considering that she had thoughts of becoming a fiction writer. This tale of a seducer who finds himself unhappily in love isn’t bad in terms of plot, but the slightly gloating tone stacks the deck in an unnecessary way, telling the listener how he sucks instead of showing it.
68. “Killer Blow,” Absolute Beginners: Songs From the Original Motion Picture (1986): Aside from the first introduction of the phrase “kiss of life,” this exercise in style from a forgettable film is itself too light to be memorable.
67. “Jezebel,” Promise (1985): “Sally” is often mistaken for a song about a sex worker; “Jezebel” actually is that. There’s a tension between social realism and poetic presentation that doesn’t get resolved, and the plodding pace keeps the listener from being able to ignore the fact, though two lines (“Every winter was a war, she said / I want to get what’s mine”) are pretty much perfect.
66. “I Will Be Your Friend,” Diamond Life (1984): Is it possible to be too good of a friend? The sentiment is sincere and the bass line is a delight, but you worry whether some of the excessive attention paid to a companion might be better spent on oneself.
65. “I Would Have Never Guessed,” The Ultimate Collection (2011): There’s always something occasional about new songs tacked onto greatest-hits collections, and this song, with its ensnared emotion set against a lone piano, is no exception.
64. “Morning Bird,” Soldier of Love (2010): If early Sade can be too emotionally removed, late Sade can be exceedingly solemn.
63. “Why Can’t We Live Together,” Diamond Life (1984): This cover of Timmy Thomas’s 1972 chill R&B classic is faithful, but it’s so faithful that it can’t make any impression of its own.
62. “Long Hard Road,” Soldier of Love (2010): The lyrics talk of how things are going to be all right, but their delivery tells a rather different story.
61. “Cherry Pie,” Diamond Life (1984): Jazzy and funky, the arrangement slaps hard, and Sade’s voice soars and dips like a lovestruck bird. It’s just that “wild as Friday night” isn’t the greatest simile.
60. “Soldier of Love,” Soldier of Love (2010): The title track from Sade’s sixth album lives up to its martial allusions: The guitar punches more than it licks, and the drums rattle like a military march. Love used to be stronger than pride; now loss is stronger than love.
59. “Mr. Wrong,” Promise (1985): This brief song about an unfaithful man and his besotted girlfriend is narrated from a third-person omniscient perspective that leaves one wishing the story’s characters had the depth and body of the song’s bass line.
58. “Slave Song,” Lovers Rock (2000): Sade’s rendition of the experience of slavery struggles to distinguish itself from her typical mode of personal self-empowerment and self-encouragement, and nearly succeeds.
57. “Bring Me Home,” Soldier of Love (2010): Generic guitar lines and a standardized beat keep this Soldier song from being all it can be.
56. “Every Word,” Lovers Rock (2000): Warm guitars and a rich voice almost cover up the sting of betrayal.
55. “Room 55,” “Kiss of Life” (1993): This, among the least best of Sade’s instrumental tracks, sounds like an average smooth-jazz session, which is neither a bad nor an exceptional thing.
54. “Punch Drunk,” Promise (1985): See above.
53. “Keep Hanging On,” “Never As Good As the First Time” (1986): This sweet, three-minute groove showcases the crispness of the band’s live performance.
52. “Make Some Room,” “Nothing Can Come Between Us” (1988): As close to techno as Sade ever got, this instrumental zeroes in on a synthetic bass line at the cost of all else. Great music to work to.
51. “Red Eye,” “Smooth Operator” (1984): Also known as the tail end of the extended mix of “Smooth Operator,” this Latin-inflected boogie works well enough on its own terms. Most Sade songs are danceable, but this is the rare one where the dancing it calls for isn’t slow.
50. “Super Bien Total,” “Love Is Stronger Than Pride” (1988): The platonic ideal of a video-game groove. Whichever RPG maker fits it into its score deserves a prize.
49. “Mermaid,” Love Deluxe (1992): Given its title, it’s no surprise that this instrumental sounds like sunlight rapturously viewed through deep water.
48. “Give It Up,” Stronger Than Pride (1988): Light, coolly seductive, and a groove like a water slide. What’s not to like?
47. “Siempre Hay Esperanza,” Stronger Than Pride (1988): A late-breaking horn solo lifts this jazz groove above the rest of the instrumental tracks.
46. “It’s Only Love That Gets You Through,” Lovers Rock (2000): Love leads to suffering, suffering to understanding, understanding to forgiveness, and she doesn’t need a lot of musical accompaniment to deliver the lesson.
45. “Love Is Found,” The Ultimate Collection (2011): “High-octane” isn’t an adjective commonly associated with Sade songs, but this greatest-hits extra, featuring Sade gliding above a churning bed of heavy bass, piano, and guitar, definitely qualifies.
44. “Clean Heart,” Stronger Than Pride (1988): Story time again — now it’s the tale of a poor young man driven to crime. This time, Sade manages to strike the proper narrative tone — like her voice itself, it’s engaged without being imbalanced.
43. “Tar Baby,” Promise (1985): Four years after the publication of Toni Morrison’s novel of the same name, Sade traces a love story of her affair; not surprisingly, the line that sticks out (“You could turn the wind into a song”) defines her own voice perfectly.
42. “The Sweetest Gift,” Lovers Rock (2000): A brief, tender acoustic ballad for her child. Like the moon in the lyrics, it’s all the brighter for being framed by darkness.
41. “The Moon and the Sky,” Soldier of Love (2010): Not even Sade can make the most of every opportunity, as this lofty song proves. Paired with a sad, introverted guitar line, her regret is impossible to mistake.
40. “Turn My Back on You,” Stronger Than Pride (1988): Complicated lyrics would only get in the way of that massive bass line. Sade sticks to plain professions of fidelity and leaves it to Paul Denman to carry the day.
39. “I Never Thought I’d See the Day,” Stronger Than Pride (1988): There aren’t a lot of Sade songs about betrayal, but each one sticks firmly in the memory. The spare arrangement and crawling pace work to the artist’s advantage — after all, any real betrayal is going to take a lot of time and silence to brood over.
38. “Haunt Me,” Stronger Than Pride (1988): Piano, guitar, longing, capped off by a sax solo. Take some time to realize how incredible it is that half of Sade’s catalogue exceeds a song of this quality.
37. “All About Our Love,” Lovers Rock (2000): The warm, welcoming sounds typical of Lovers Rock match well with Sade’s reminiscence of a partnership that’s stood the test of time.
36. “King of Sorrow,” Lovers Rock (2000): The second single from Lovers Rock witnesses Sade anointing herself a monarch. Whether it’s to memorialize romantic pain or to recover from it, the act of aggrandizement is easily forgiven.
35. “Pearls,” Love Deluxe (1992): Sade’s harrowing legend of a Somali mother searching for pearls to pay to feed her daughter turns on a line so weird and exact you could mistake it for bad; only once you’ve painfully broken in a pair of new sneakers does “It hurts like brand-new shoes” fully emerge as the genius metaphor it is.
34. “Babyfather,” Soldier of Love (2010): The sunnier side of Soldier of Love is on glorious display here, as Sade describes to a child how its parents first met. Some dads are good dads.
33. “Fear,” Promise (1985): An excursion into the Spanish language yields “Fear,” a grievous little gem that reflects the feelings of anyone waiting for an endangered lover to return.
32. “The Safest Place,” Soldier of Love (2010): Safe spaces are a good and necessary thing, to hear Sade sing: If they added up to a country, this would be a national anthem.
31. “Be That Easy,” Soldier of Love (2010): It’s no easy task to be poised and grateful in the wake of a recently departed love, but with her gorgeous, lifting chorus, Sade makes it look easy.
30. “Should I Love You,” “When Am I Going to Make a Living” (1984): This early B-side shows off Sade as she figures out how to sing about romantic pain in the first-person. There’s an interesting contrast between the light sounds and tone of voice and the lyrical promises and grief that leaves one coming back for more: As the lyrics say, “I’d like to leave but I’m unable to.”
29. “Like a Tattoo,” Love Deluxe (1992): Based on a real bar conversation (in New York, no less!) between Sade and a former soldier, this tale makes trauma and longing in the wake of slaughter feel at once poetic and relatable.
28. “Please Send Me Someone to Love,” Philadelphia: Music From the Motion Picture (1993): Sade’s cover of Percy Mayfield’s 1950 blues hit adds a rare element of wit to her catalog. While usually she’s too concerned to be wry, Mayfield’s lyrics, with their clever contrast between a desire for peace and love globally and a desire for a love of one’s own, make for an ideal opportunity for Sade not just to smile, but to laugh.
27. “Immigrant,” Lovers Rock (2000): Low tones and a mournful bassline complement Sade’s story about the burdens endured by a black man in a foreign land. There’s no need to preach when a line like “To even the toughest among us, that would be too much” does all the work of a sermon.
26. “Love Is Stronger Than Pride,” Stronger Than Pride (1988): There’s a bit of an in-joke in the title track of Sade’s third album: prior to renaming itself after, and reorganizing itself around its lead singer, the band had played under the name of Pride. Complete the equation and you’ll discover that Sade is, in fact, Love, a fact amply borne out by the song itself.
25. “In Another Time,” Soldier of Love (2010): Consoling a girl recently wounded, Sade advises her to let time and karma take care of her offenders; imagining that one day you won’t hurt so badly is the best way to hasten that day’s arrival.
24. “Nothing Can Come Between Us,” Stronger Than Pride (1988): Truer words have never been sung than “In the middle of the madness, hold on.” Stuart Matthewman’s best impression of funk guitar adds just the right amount of spice to the duet.
23. “You’re Not the Man,” Promise (1985): When someone (a man) builds you up just to let you down, it’s time for this patient postmortem, which deftly builds momentum from a slow start to a crescendo matching tenderness to maturity.
22. “Your Love Is King,” Diamond Life (1984): There’s a special charm to certain early Sade songs where poise and lightness prove compatible with profound commitment, and this song, with its blend of spiritual and physical love, is definitely one of them.
21. “Skin,” Soldier of Love (2010): When Sade says good-bye, man, she really means it.
20. “Spirit,” “Smooth Operator” (1984): This little-known B-side from “Smooth Operator” is juiced with more funk and electricity than half the songs on Diamond Life. It doesn’t match the tone of the album (and hence was left off) but this is a keeper by any standard.
19. “Hang On to Your Love,” Diamond Life (1984): Sade’s first introduction to an American audience came with this song: powered by a heavy, driving bassline and some of Sade’s best advice-centered lyrics, “Hang On” ensured that her stateside fans would do just that.
18. “Still in Love with You,” The Ultimate Collection (2011): Sade’s take on the Thin Lizzy classic from 1970 lacks the yowling guitar solos of the original, but she effortlessly translates the pain in Phil Lynott’s voice into her own register of grief.
17. “By Your Side,” Lovers Rock (2000): How does it feel to know there’s someone who will never abandon you? A plain but thoroughly gripping hook anchors her pledge to be there in the worst of times.
16. “Is It a Crime,” Promise (1985): The alternation between low/slow verse and high/loud chorus is so effective here you wonder if the Pixies hadn’t learned a thing or two from this track. There’s a kind of subtle but forceful politics in her assertion of the scale of her love: it exceeds all imperial figures.
15. “Kiss of Life,” Love Deluxe (1992): Her love songs typically split between the ones where love is flawless and the ones where love is threatened, and this falls clearly in the former category. A rich funk bassline laced with jazz piano provides the perfect backdrop for this ode to the best of feelings.
14. “Feel No Pain,” Love Deluxe (1992): All Sade songs are socially engaged at some level, but of the ones that directly reference politics, this is one of the best. Instead of telling the story of a black family trapped by layoffs, poverty, unemployment, and hatred from the third-person, Sade locates herself within its daughter as a first-person narrator. Her intimation that a society that refuses to support its least fortunate members will end in ruin for all doesn’t come off as a sermon, but an experience deeply lived. The supporting cast turns in one of its best performances, evoking a spirit at once buoyant, concerned, and trapped.
13. “Smooth Operator,” Diamond Life (1984): Along with an ace lead saxophone and winding bassline, the secret to success for Sade’s biggest early hit is hiding in plain sight: the heartless playboy traversing cities and continents in search of pleasure that she narrates serves as an allegory for Global Capitalism, but also for herself: her international range and her voice — every time she croons “smooth operator,” there’s a measure of self-reference. Her amoral protagonist’s villainy is rendered in such lovely phrases that the listener can’t help but be seduced.
12. “Flow,” Lovers Rock (2000): Few songs capture the tension of a romantic who is sad to find themselves in love. “Is it possible I could feel this good? / I could really love you the way I do?” she wonders. There’s a war between mistrust and delight that’s all the more forceful for its subtle presentation; what’s not hidden, though, is the churn and torsion of Denman’s bassline.
11. “Cherish the Day,” Love Deluxe (1992): Her minimalist lyrics — “If you were mine / If you were mine / I wouldn’t want to go / To Heaven” — say all that needs to be said, and once a ten-note bassline jumps in to underscore her depth of feeling over the misty synths, the song is perfect and complete.
10. “I Couldn’t Love You More,” Love Deluxe (1992): Liquid keyboards, plain piano chords, and a loose but urgent bassline frame declarations of everlasting loyalty: being told you’re loved will never get old, especially not when it’s her voice doing the telling.
9. “When Am I Going To Make a Living,” Diamond Life (1984): Few songs capture the sense of living amidst dealers and liars in a precarious economy better than this early single, nor better express the cheeky optimism that things will get better once we both take individual responsibility and see ourselves collectively. Written during the Thatcher years, it’s only gained in relevance in the three decades since.
8. “Lovers Rock,” Lovers Rock (2000): The title track from Lovers Rock displays the artist in full bloom: It’s hard to get more emotionally mature than a line like “Somewhere in my sadness, I know I won’t fall apart completely,” and the subdued but sensitive guitar line keeps faith with a faith that’s quietly troubled.
7. “Paradise,” Stronger Than Pride (1988): Any song titled “Paradise” had better sound like it, and her version doesn’t disappoint — in fact, no song better expresses the phase of love where disappointment is impossible.
6. “Keep Looking,” Stronger Than Pride (1988): The ultimate antidepressant, especially once that high chorus hits. It’s cheaper and faster than therapy, not to mention therapy never heard such a bassline.
5. “Never As Good As the First Time,” Promise (1985): Nearly all Sade songs are about commitment and security, but this, an ode to hooking up and living purely in the present, is the exception. The reckless pace matches the lyrical abandon. It’s no accident that the music video is mostly just Sade racing a horse across open country, which is so great that it’s tempting to replace the Internet entirely with GIFs of Sade racing a horse across open country.
4. “Bullet Proof Soul,” Love Deluxe (1992): Whether it comes from society or nature or original sin or all of the above, the tendency is common, especially but not exclusively among men, to ruin love by viewing it as a zero-sum game maintained by threats. If many of her songs remind listeners of the generosity and tenderness of love, “Bullet Proof Soul” faces that cold, loveless impulse directly. It will never be easy to face up to cruelty from a loved one, but this song, with its mournfully catchy bass note and wistful horns, makes it a little less hard.
3. “The Sweetest Taboo,” Promise (1985): There may be better songs of hers, but none are nearly as rich in sheer color as her sophomore album’s lead single. Global warming may well abolish autumn, but if it does, there’s no better simulation of walking through waves of falling leaves while falling in love. A bonus is the chromatic richness of the music video, which reminds us that there’s never been anyone, in all of history, who’s lucked out more than white guys who play the love interests in Sade music videos.
2. “No Ordinary Love,” Love Deluxe (1992): “There’s nothing like you and I,” she sings; the emphasis falls on “nothing” no less than on “you” or “I.” Sade songs, at their very best, ignore the distinction between songs about flawless love and love betrayed; the promise of the first and the inevitability of the other are contained in one another. The softly puncturing bass, the deep-sea synths, the chugging, almost accusatory guitar that kicks in during the pre-chorus — even among other perfect songs, this one stands out. It’s the longest song on any of her albums; it’s also one you wish would last forever, but can’t, just like the love in the title.
1. “Somebody Already Broke My Heart,” Lovers Rock (2000): If there’s anything harder than falling in love, it’s falling in love again after being betrayed many times over. There’s a vulnerability in this song that goes beyond even the high standard set by the rest of the Sade catalog, a sense that, faced with a love affair that hasn’t even really yet begun, she’s skipping past the rapture of infatuation straight to the painful end; and that she somehow has the strength of character to do this knowingly and willingly. “If someone has to lose, I don’t want to play,” she sings, but there she goes, diving into the future disaster; “I can’t go there again,” she decides, but she actually can. There really is such a thing as a genius of feeling, and Sade has it in abundance. Among all of her songs none are stronger or wiser than this. “Here I am, so don’t leave me stranded.”

Sampling The Summer - Playboy Jazz; In A Smooth Groove - 2004
Since the magazine started in 1953, Playboy was always a huge supporter of Jazz music. Playboy Jazz was a Concord Jazz label imprint formed in 2001 in alliance with Playboy Enterprises, releasing mostly traditional and classic jazz collections of various artists until 2014. Their only venture into the Contemporary Jazz world came with this sampler from 2004. I was an excellent representation of the genre, still worthy of a listen to today by novices of the format or smooth old school veterans.

The Smooth Jazz Sunday Brunch - Pure & Simple; A Flashback Menu
A little bit of fun for today's Sunday Brunch. Smooth Jazz Brunches go wayback to the start of the radio genre when it was known as New Adult Contemporary (NAC). If The Kitchen were open 30 years ago, this would probably be what a brunch menu would have sounded like with all tracks being released prior to 1992. I hope you enjoy it my friends and thanks for stopping by...
For all the Milwaukeeans; the picture is the Food Court at Northridge taken in July of 1991.

Arpoador Sunsets - Timeless
When I brought out my first Brazilian sets in early 2016, known as Arpoador Sunsets, I had been mixing on Mixcloud for a little under five months. I was still very inexperienced at what I was doing and listening back on them today I’ve found myself not really happy with how they sound.
I decided that during this year I would take the first dozen or so, two at a time, and re-sequence and re-master them as new extended shows. This one as you’ll hear now sounds so much better. Please grab a cool beverage, your sunglasses and a towel and join me now at our favorite beach…
The music in this set comes from the original shows titled Sol Da Tarde and Uma Coisa Muito Boa (A Very Good Thing).

***Don't expect smooth today. *** This is not what I usually mix: a good amount of funk, some fusion jazz and other things I cooked into the set. Today is a perfect day to play this while hanging with family and friends in the yard cooking good food and watching the fireworks. So for fun, I hope you enjoy this mix and Happy July Fourth.

Grooves In The Night - A Celebration of Narada Jazz, Part 3
2023 marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of my hometown label, Narada Productions (Since 2013 they are a fully owned subsidiary of Universal Music Group and distributed by Capitol Music Group's Blue Note Records). Over this year I’d like to do a couple of series based on their music lines. I decided to start with the Saturdays in May and one I love a lot.
Their sub-label, Narada Jazz also marks it’s 20th anniversary this year. In the short decade that they distributed albums, their artists roster was incredible. Almost everyone is still around today and doing some of the most important and popular work in the Smooth Urban Jazz world. I hope you enjoy this final look back of three shows with the cool sounds of Narada Jazz.

Arpoador Sunsets - Morning
When I brought out my first Brazilian sets in early 2016, known as Arpoador Sunsets, I had been mixing on Mixcloud for a little under five months. I was still very inexperienced at what I was doing and listening back on them today I’ve found myself not really happy with how they sound.
I decided that during this year I would take the first dozen or so, two at a time, and re-sequence and re-master them as new extended shows. This one as you’ll hear now sounds so much better. Please grab a cool beverage, your sunglasses and a towel and join me now at our favorite beach…

Notes From The Overnight - Solitude (For RC)
The origin to me listening to Traditional Jazz goes back to Milwaukee radio icon Ron Cuzner. There’s never been a better Jazz DJ. This Monday will mark 20 years since he left us. We still today and will always miss hearing him.
I always considered doing a show in his style but with modern Jazz music, as if Cuzner were still with us every late night. This is my first attempt at it and I hope he would have enjoy it.
This won’t be the only “Notes”. I’d like to turn it into a monthly or bimonthly show, keeping that spirit of what he gave me alive all these years later. Please enjoy with the cookies of your choice, of course.

Bobby Caldwell - Tell It Like It Is
This afternoon the sad news broke that singer/songwriter Bobby Caldwell had passed away on Tuesday at the age of 71. According to his wife, Mary, he died of Fluoroquinolone toxicity after an antibiotic he’d been prescribed in 2017 wreaked “havoc” on his body over the last several years.
He released several albums spanning R&B, soul, jazz, and adult contemporary and was known for his soulful and versatile vocals. Mr. Caldwell released the hit single and his signature song "What You Won't Do for Love" from his double platinum debut album Bobby Caldwell in 1978.
His voice was and will always be a staple of the Smooth Contemporary Jazz format and forever will bring joy to anyone who hears one of his songs. A big thank you for all the music you left us over the years Mr. Caldwell. Rest in peace and harmony.

Wayne Shorter - A Special Kitchen Cellar Farewell
We’ve lost one of the most important artists and masters in the history of Jazz. Wayne Shorter was 89 when he left us earlier today. Many of his compositions have become jazz standards, and his music has earned worldwide recognition, critical praise, and commendation including 12 Grammy awards.
With The Jazz Messengers, Miles, his best friend Herbie or solo, for me the only place where I wanted to celebrate his life tonight was in The Kitchen Cellar listening to some of his ballads and marvel at the work of one of our most gifted saxophonists.
Please take time out and enjoy the beauty of his music with me. Rest in peace and harmony Mr. Shorter, and many, many thanks.

Music From The Smooth Jazz Kitchen - When I Was 23 (The Music from 1989)
I was an ordinary, average guy when I turned 23 on February 28th in 1989. It was an amazing time for jazz & pop music & I used to make mixtapes of my favorite tunes just like everyone else I knew. I still have a few lying around today.
But what if I had been on Mixcloud back then? What would a typical week of The Smooth Jazz Kitchen have sounded like? Today, all these years later, we’ll find out. This show is made up of some of the best contemporary jazz from that year; many are deeper album cuts you probably haven’t heard for a very long time. For my birthday this week I give this gift to all of you, please enjoy this flashback to ’89.

Arpoador Sunsets - Everybody Loves The Sunshine
When I brought out my first Brazilian sets in early 2016, known as Arpoador Sunsets, I had been mixing for a little under five months. I was still very inexperienced at what I was doing and listening back on them today I’ve found myself not really happy with how they sound.
I decided that during this year I would take the first dozen or so, two at a time, and re-sequence and re-master them as new extended shows. This one as you’ll hear now sounds so much better. Please grab a cool beverage, your sunglasses and a towel and join me now at our favorite beach…

The Kitchen's Yacht Rock Christmas Vacation
I’ve done so many holiday shows in The Kitchen over the years that I was having a tough time trying to figure out what to do for this Christmas. Well one of my music stress relievers is hard modern rock (really) and on the radio the other afternoon a guitarist was talking about adding too many music effects to a song he was producing and it ended up sounding like “bad yacht rock”. And there was the answer.
As a child of the late 70s and 80s, I’ve always loved the genre of Yacht Rock, so why not head out of the Jazz world for a vacation on the waves with a Cool Yule set today, West Coast ocean style.
I hope you enjoy this one, as well as maybe one or two of the many other holiday sets I’ve done in the past. It’s a special music for a special time of year that needs to be heard not only in December, but anytime you are in the mood.
Thanks for joining me once again and no matter what you celebrate, have a wonderful holiday. Love and peace from your Chef…

Blue Note Blend 20 - Starbucks - 2015
My introduction to Starbucks came in 1995. They brought out a coffee called Blue Note Blend. It’s still remains one of my favorites to this day. (Note to Starbucks; BRING IT BACK!) Along with the beans, they offered the first of a series of CDs celebrating the music of the iconic label. I came across all four discs again recently, one released each time the coffee was available, and wanted to share these classics with you as combo of my Sampling Series and my previous Blue Mondays shows.
The final edition so far released for the 20th anniversary of the coffee and discs. I hope you've enjoyed this series as much as I did and thanks for listening in as always…

Ramsey Lewis - With A Gentle Touch
This week's Night Sessions will be released Wednesday. For today, this was much more important.
He was a definition of "smooth". Ramsey Emmanuel Lewis Jr. was an American jazz icon as a composer & pianist who recorded over 80 albums, received five gold records & three Grammy Awards in his career. He was born, lived his whole life & today died peacefully at his home in Chicago at 87. He got his start with the Ramsey Lewis Trio, which released their debut album in 1956 & was still performing during this past year. For years he hosted the popular radio program “Ramsey Lewis & Legends of Jazz,” begun in 1997, on WNUA-FM.
This special show includes many hits (more of his recent ones), some vocals, and some tracks with his Urban Knights. It's just a small example to show the world that today we lost one of the great ones. Thank you Mr. Lewis for this and everything you gave us. Rest in peace & harmony...

Sampling The Summer - Jazz At Midnight - RCA Victor & BMG Classics - 1997 & 1998
The RCA Victor brand was introduced in 1945 in advertising & 1946 on actual record labels, where it replaced the Victor & Bluebird brands. During its lifespan, the RCA Victor brand has undergone many design adjustments. RCA Records was fully acquired in 1987 as part of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG) & became a part of Sony BMG Music Entertainment after the 2004 merger of BMG & Sony.
These two compilation discs were very popular when they were originally available & featured a wonderful variety of the labels' midnight style of jazz, always the favorite here in The Kitchen. V0l. 2 begins at 01:03 with Sonny Rollins - Where Are You.

Joey DeFrancesco - They Say It's Wonderful
I’m sorry, but this one just kept getting longer & longer as I put it together. But you see, when you had as many albums (studio, live & bootlegs) as Joey DeFrancesco & were hands down the master of your instrument, it’s hard to come up with just a few great ones to fit into a show.
The King of the Hammond left us yesterday very unexpectedly. He was only 51. He sang & he played trumpet & sax too. But when that man sat behind an organ…there are no words. He won the Down Beat Readers Poll every year since 2005 & was an inaugural member of the Hammond Hall of Fame. And it’s hard to imagine anyone will ever be able to come close to taking his place at those keyboards.
Thank you so much Mr. D. for all that you left here for us to remember you by and peace always…

Sampling The Summer - Narada Smooth Jazz - 1997
Narada is a record label formed in 1983 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as an independent new-age music label and distributed by MCA. A fully owned subsidiary of Universal Music Group and distributed by Capitol Music Group's Blue Note Records, the label evolved through an expansion of formats to include world music, jazz, Celtic music, new flamenco, acoustic guitar, and piano genre releases. Narada Smooth Jazz is a 1997 double disc compilation release by Narada. It peaked at #25 on Billboard's Top Contemporary Jazz Albums in the same year and now 25 years later is very reminiscent of the sound heard on radio at that time.

Urban Daydreams - When I Was 19 (The Music of 1985)
I was a typical young man when I turned 19 on this date in 1985. It was an amazing time for pop music and I used to make mixtapes of my favorite tunes just like everyone else I knew. I still have a few lying around today.
But what if I had been on Mixcloud back then? What would a typical week of Urban Daydreams have sounded like? Today, all these years later, we’ll find out. This show is made up of some of the best contemporary jazz from that year; many are deeper album cuts you probably haven’t heard for a very long time. For my birthday today I give this gift to all of you, please enjoy this flashback to ’85.
The tracklist for this show can be found in the comments below…but see how many you can remember first though before you look.

Dirty Bossa Nova - King Of Latin Rhythm
For three years I've given listeners a taste of the music from Brazil that goes down clean and smooth with Arpoador Sunsets. But if you take those bossa rhythms and cross them with acid jazz and lounge, styles that they were born to be melded with, the music becomes something all together different. It moves in a very different way and it sounds more…lowdown, almost “dirty“. And it is so, so very cool that way.
Today I bring you another show of this wonderful musical twist with a special series called “Dirty Bossa Nova”. Enjoy this month’s edition, “King Of Latin Rhythm”.

James Ingram - Remember The Dream
It was a surprise to many hearing today that James Ingram had passed at the age of 66. He was a two-time Grammy Award-winner & a two-time Oscar nominee for Best Original Song.
He had charted eight Top 40 hits on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart from the early 80s thru the early 90s, as well as 13 top 40 hits on the Hot R&B chart & 20 hits on the Adult Contemporary chart . He had two number-one singles on the Hot 100: first with Patti Austin, & 1982's "Baby, Come to Me" (my wife's and my prom song). "I Don't Have the Heart" became his second number-one in 1990 & was his only one as a solo artist.
He also recorded the song "Somewhere Out There" with Linda Ronstadt for the film An American Tail. He co-wrote "The Day I Fall in Love", from the film Beethoven's 2nd, and "Look What Love Has Done", from the motion picture Junior, which earned him nominations for Best Original Song from the Oscars, Golden Globes, and Grammy Awards in 1994 and 1995.
Thank you Mr. Ingram for giving us some beautiful music to remember you by...here's wishing you peace.

Slack-Keys In Paradise - The Artistry of Hawaiian Guitar Masters Vol. 3
Slack-key guitar is a fingerstyle genre of guitar music that originated in Hawaii. Its name refers to its characteristic open tunings: the English term is a translation of the Hawaiian kī hōʻalu, which means "loosen the tuning key". Most slack-key tunings can be achieved by starting with a guitar in standard tuning and detuning or "slacking" one or more of the strings until the six strings form a single chord, frequently G major.
As a solo instrument in the hands of a master, the sound created is simply beautiful. It evokes warm sunny beach days that never end. To celebrate this wonderful music and honor the culture of Hawaii, I have put together a three volume series that I’m sure you’ll love. Welcome to the final edition; close your eyes, relax and be swept away to an island shore…

Night Sessions - I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm
Happiest of holidays my friends and it’s time for another special edition of Night Sessions. Tonight is Christmas Night. For many around the world it is one of the most wonderful days of the year commemorating the Messiah‘s birth. It’s a time when families and friends join for festive gatherings filled with religious services, singing, opening presents, enjoying the holiday decorations and of course food and drink.
Now as the Chef from The Smooth Jazz Kitchen, you know that for me the last reason I mentioned is very important. Getting together anytime with those we love accompanied by some delicious treats along with something good to wash it down is the best way to celebrate. This evening as the holiday winds to a close many people will be joining together one last time just to have a little bit of fun. So to accompany the evening, at Night Sessions were going to host a cocktail party of sorts.
This holiday we’re going to swing a little. The music will be all your holiday favorites a little more upbeat and in a mostly jazz trio format; the perfect music for a cocktail party in a special style your Chef has chosen. I hope you enjoy our menu…

Jazz For A Late December's Dinner Party
Jazz For A Late December's Dinner Party. The holidays are always filled with surprises, this is one of them. As I was reading today, I found another play list idea from Jazziz that made me want to put this one together and share with everyone in The Kitchen. It’s one of those sets that’s not too smooth, but instead filled with some straight ahead jazz that’s perfect for a dinner party with friends on a winter‘s night. So before we get together with everyone for our cocktail party on Christmas night, enjoy this one with some great food and good friends, courtesy of your Chef. (It's a long show too so feel free to eat seconds!)

Slack-Keys In Paradise - The Artistry of Hawaiian Guitar Masters Vol. 2
Slack-key guitar is a fingerstyle genre of guitar music that originated in Hawaii. Its name refers to its characteristic open tunings: the English term is a translation of the Hawaiian kī hōʻalu, which means "loosen the tuning key". Most slack-key tunings can be achieved by starting with a guitar in standard tuning and detuning or "slacking" one or more of the strings until the six strings form a single chord, frequently G major.
The style originated from Mexican cowboys in the late 19th century. They provided guitars, taught the Hawaiians the rudiments of playing, and then left, allowing the Hawaiians to develop the style on their own. Slack-key guitar adapted to accompany the rhythms of Hawaiian dancing and the harmonic structures of Hawaiian music.
As a solo instrument in the hands of a master, the sound created is simply beautiful. It evokes warm sunny beach days that never end. To celebrate this wonderful music and honor the culture of Hawaii, I have put together a three volume series that I’m sure you’ll love. Close your eyes, relax and be swept away to an island shore…

Dirty Bossa Nova - Garota de Ipanema
For two years I've given listeners a taste of the music from Brazil that goes down clean and smooth with Arpoador Sunsets. But if you take those bossa rhythms and cross them with acid jazz and lounge, styles that they were born to be melded with, the music becomes something all together different. It moves in a very different way and it sounds more…lowdown, almost “dirty“. And it is so, so very cool that way.
Today I bring you another show of this wonderful musical twist with a special series called “Dirty Bossa Nova”. Enjoy this month’s edition, “Garota de Ipanema”.

This Urban Daydream is made up of some of the best music and artists you may not have heard but should have this past year. I hope it moves your soul and gets you to a place where your dreams become your realities. Enjoy my good friends and thank you for spending some time each week in my Daydreams with me.

Slack-Keys In Paradise - The Artistry of Hawaiian Guitar Masters Vol. 1
Slack-key guitar is a fingerstyle genre of guitar music that originated in Hawaii. Its name refers to its characteristic open tunings: the English term is a translation of the Hawaiian kī hōʻalu, which means "loosen the tuning key". Most slack-key tunings can be achieved by starting with a guitar in standard tuning and detuning or "slacking" one or more of the strings until the six strings form a single chord, frequently G major.
The style originated from Mexican cowboys in the late 19th century. They provided guitars, taught the Hawaiians the rudiments of playing, and then left, allowing the Hawaiians to develop the style on their own. Slack-key guitar adapted to accompany the rhythms of Hawaiian dancing and the harmonic structures of Hawaiian music.
As a solo instrument in the hands of a master, the sound created is simply beautiful. It evokes warm sunny beach days that never end. To celebrate this wonderful music and honor the culture of Hawaii, I have put together a three volume series that I’m sure you’ll love. Close your eyes, relax and be swept away to an island shore…

Here in Milwaukee as the snow begins to fly and the cold weather has set in, there's no better reason to stay longer together. I hope you enjoy this extended set, it's sent from me to all of you with lots of wishes of happiness, health, love and peace.

Norah Jones - More Than This
Vocalist and pianist Norah Jones developed a unique blend of jazz and traditional vocal pop, with hints of bluesy country and contemporary folk, due in large part to her unique upbringing. The daughter of Ravi Shankar, Jones grew up in Texas with her mother and studied jazz piano at the University of North Texas.. In 2002, Jones launched her solo music career with the release of Come Away with Me, which was a fusion of jazz with country music and pop. She has won many awards and has sold more than 50 million records worldwide. Billboard named her the top jazz artist of the 2000–2009 decade. She has won nine Grammy Awards and was ranked 60th on Billboard magazine's artists of the 2000–2009 decade chart.

Roy Hargrove - I'm Glad There Is You
This show was not planned. I like so many have been listening to his music remembering his gifts to us since news came out yesterday of his death at only 49. Not only was he one of the most gifted Jazz musicians of his generation, but also notable for his forays into other forms of music such as R'N'B and Hip-Hop.
This set is a tribute to his memory and a thank you for giving the world what he did during his time with us.

Dirty Bossa Nova - E Isso Ai
For two years I've given listeners a taste of the music from Brazil that goes down clean and smooth with Arpoador Sunsets. But if you take those bossa rhythms and cross them with acid jazz and lounge, styles that they were born to be melded with, the music becomes something all together different. It moves in a very different way and it sounds more…lowdown, almost “dirty“. And it is so, so very cool that way.
Today I bring you another show of this wonderful musical twist with a special series called “Dirty Bossa Nova”. Enjoy this month’s edition, “E Isso Ai”.

Ah Yeah - The Heat of Robert Glasper
Those who follow me know I love many forms of Jazz. One of the finest artists of this generation is Robert Glasper. While discussing various artists working today, a friend suggested that I do a show of his music. What he does is so eclectic that I decided to do two. This is the hot one. Based more on soul, r&b, rap and of course, jazz, this set shows how in the hands of a master, music doesn't need those labels. The genius within is evident throughout.
It was a lot of fun putting these together and all thanks and credit goes to my very special friend Sandy. You have given me some great ideas, inspirations and wonderful suggestions, I thank you so very much for all of this and more.

While discussing various artists working today, a friend suggested that I do a show of his music. What he does is so eclectic that I decided to do two. This is the cool one. Based more on trio work, it goes from his interpretations of classics to very modern originals. The genius within is evident throughout.
It was a lot of fun putting these together and all thanks and credit goes to my very special friend Sandy. You have given me some great ideas, inspirations and wonderful suggestions, I thank you so very much for all of this and more.
For all my followers and friends a huge thank you for being here to support me the last few years. This has become the passion that I long to do everyday. I hope that along the way you enjoy the menus I have written.

Jazz For A Rainy Sunday Night In September
It’s been rainy and cold here this weekend; the type of day that reminds you tomorrow is October and the colder weather is coming soon. I’ve spent the day working on music, found myself listening to some new things and some lost-until-recently things. Why keep it to myself, music is to be shared. This one is just for no reason other than it was perfect for the way the day was feeling.

Dirty Bossa Nova - Bossa Brava
Dirty Bossa Nova - Bossa Brava. Due to a computer issue, I haven't been able to post this until now, but they're back. Better late than never.
For two years I’ve given listeners a taste of the music from Brazil that goes down clean & smooth with Arpoador Sunsets. But if you take those bossa rhythms & cross them with acid jazz & lounge, styles that they were born to be melded with, the music becomes something all together different. It moves in a very different way & it sounds more…lowdown, almost “dirty“. And it is so very cool that way.
Today I bring you another show of this wonderful musical twist with a special series called “Dirty Bossa Nova”. Enjoy this month’s edition, “Bossa Brava”.

Arpoador Sunsets - After The Sun Sets; The Music of Eliane Elias
Arpoador Sunsets - After The Sun Sets; The Music of Eliane Elias. She’s an amazing vocalist & pianist who play straight-ahead jazz, fusion, & Brazilian jazz with equal skill. Elias was born in São Paulo; she started studying piano at age 7. By the time she was 15, she was teaching piano and improvisation. At 21, she moved to New York City, to attend The Juilliard School of Music. A year later she became part of the group Steps Ahead. Her first album was a collaboration with Randy Brecker entitled Amanda in 1984. In 1988 she was voted Best New Talent in the Critics Poll of Jazziz magazine. She has recorded for Denon, Blue Note, EMI, RCA, Sony/BMG, ECM Records, Concord. 2018's Music from Man of La Mancha is the Elias’ 26th full-length album.
I’ve been a fan since she released her second solo album, Cross Currents, in 1987. To pick favorites or her best is impossible. I just hope with this show I can present a collection of her artistry that you‘ll enjoy. Please enjoy my friends.

Passionate Grooves - A Special Night Sessions Inspired by Craig Roulhac
Passionate Grooves - A Special Night Sessions Inspired by Craig Roulhac
One of my musical friends, Craig Roulhac, is a frequent poster on Spotify. He has an excellent ear when it comes to Contemporary Jazz and I enjoy so much of what he does. Last night he posted a new set called Passion Grooves and said “this playlist was inspired by Bruce's Smooth Jazz Kitchen”. I was humbled to have him say that and take the time to put together a beautiful show of music that would perfectly fit into a Night Sessions. So as a thank you to Craig, I produced one. I went through many of his other shows and found more NS style music to extend it into this special show.
Please if you are on Spotify look up Craig Rouhlac and follow him, you won’t be disappointed. And Craig, many thanks for your kind gesture. I hope you enjoy what I did with the set and that you find the Chef’s inspired extension of your ideas satisfying to the ears.

A Quiet Storm - Part 2
Recently my “jazz brother” Thomas Moore did an amazing look back at music from the earlier days of the smooth jazz movement for his channel TheChillZone. He suggested to me when chatting that I do one also. I took him up on it, but it turned out that I needed two shows to do it (I couldn’t say no to so many tracks). If you followed Quiet Storm radio in the early days, I’m sure you’ll remember most. If not, then please enjoy some great new/old music.
I hope you enjoy my look back and thank you to Thomas for the recommendation. Please check out his page if you haven’t; TheChillZone has an excellent selection of smooth jazz and soul. https://www.mixcloud.com/TheChillZone/

Summer Jazz & Funk - Funkin' On The Fourth 2018
On July 4th a couple of years ago I posted a set like this as a one time only show. As I was going through music the other day, I noticed I had pieces from artists from the first one plus others that might make me rethink a second outing. Also with special thanks to a friend for several of the selections, here we go...
This is not what I usually mix: some funk, some jazz and other things I cooked into the set. Today is a perfect day to play this while hanging with family and friends in the yard cooking good food and watching the fireworks. So for fun, I hope you enjoy this mix and Happy July Fourth.

Dirty Bossa Nova - Bossamor
For two years I've given listeners a taste of the music from Brazil that goes down clean and smooth with Arpoador Sunsets. But if you take those bossa rhythms and cross them with acid jazz and lounge, styles that they were born to be melded with, the music becomes something all together different. It moves in a very different way and it sounds more…lowdown, almost “dirty“. And it is so, so very cool that way.

Dirty Bossa Nova - Our Man in Rio
For two years I've given listeners a taste of the music from Brazil that goes down clean and smooth with Arpoador Sunsets. But if you take those bossa rhythms and cross them with acid jazz and lounge, styles that they were born to be melded with, the music becomes something all together different. It moves in a very different way and it sounds more…lowdown, almost “dirty“. And it is so, so very cool that way.
Listen to Mixcloud the first Wednesday of the month through December as I bring you this wonderful musical twist with a special series called “Dirty Bossa Nova”. Enjoy this month’s edition, “Our Man In Rio”.

The Artist's Choice - The Music of Phigroa
The idea behind The Artist Choice Series is not to make a show of an musician’s biggest songs, but to have the artist themselves pick the songs that mean the most to them.
For this set I wanted to ask Phigroa (Phil Figueroa). I became aware of his music through the artist site Bandcamp after hearing tracks from a few friends. He‘s popped up in a few of my Night Sessions, most recently in my April 3rd show on The Moth FM. I really like his writing and his smooth guitar works; it fits perfectly with the vibe I try to create. This show is "his" creation; Phil chose for me 26 tracks that mean a little extra to him and I took it from there.
Thank you so much Phil for saying yes and for entrusting your favorites with me. It was a so much fun to hear everything fall beautifully into place and I hope you like it.

Dirty Bossa Nova - Barumba
For two years I've given listeners a taste of the music from Brazil that goes down clean and smooth with Arpoador Sunsets. But if you take those bossa rhythms and cross them with acid jazz and lounge, styles that they were born to be melded with, the music becomes something all together different. It moves in a very different way and it sounds more…lowdown, almost “dirty“. And it is so, so very cool that way.
Listen the first Wednesday of the month through December as I bring you this wonderful musical twist with a special series called “Dirty Bossa Nova”. Enjoy this month’s edition, “Barumba”.

The Artist's Choice - The Music of Mike Murray
The idea behind The Artist Choice Series is not to make a show of an musician’s biggest songs, but to have the artist themselves pick the songs that mean the most to them.
For the first set, I wanted to ask Mike Murray. I became aware of his music in 2016 around the release of his album Summer. The first time he appeared in a set of mine was when Lemon Pepper opened Urban Daydreams - Cruise Control. Since then he has popped up often in my shows. I love the vibe his music gives me, the keyboards and soundscapes creating a smooth atmosphere every time I listen.
This show is "his" creation; Mike chose for me 23 tracks that mean a little extra to him and I took it from there.
Thank you so much Mike for not only saying yes and for being the first of what I hope can be an interesting series, but for entrusting your favorites with me. It was a wonderful pleasure putting this together with you and I hope you like it.
