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. 00:00 Richard Elliot - Take Your Time 00:04 Najee - Tokyo Blue 00:09 The Rippingtons feat Russ Freeman - I Watched Her Walk Away 00:14 Alex Bugnon - Elis 00:20 Ray Obiedo - Samba Alegre 00:25 Carl Anderson - How Deep Does It Go? 00:30 Don Grusin - Outback Oasis 00:35 Dave Koz - Endless Summer Nights 00:40 Dwight Sills - Boppin' 00:44 Special EFX - Ballerina 00:49 Oleta Adams - Circle Of One 00:53 Gerald Albright - Say Yes 00:57 Charly Horneman - A Love Affair With Claire 01:01 Anita Baker - More Than You Know 01:05 Bobby Lyle - Struttin' 01:11 Tom Grant - Angels Crossing 01:16 John Novello feat Gloria Rusch & Eric Marienthal - Always 01:21 Chuck Loeb - 7th Ave South 01:25 Basia - Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do) 01:29 Brian Bromberg - You & I 01:34 Acoustic Alchemy - Cuban Heels 01:37 Rob Mullins - Memory Lane 01:43 Lalah Hathaway - Somethin' 01:46 Steve Laury - Kiss Me Goodbye 01:51 Vincent Henry - Southbound 01:56 Vernell Brown Jr. - Perfect Timing 02:00 Sadao Watanabe - Front Seat 02:03 Bob Baldwin - Rediscovery 02:10 Michael Franks - The Art Of Love 02:14 Keiko Matsui - The White Corridor 02:18 Deborah Henson Conant - Hawaii: In The Afterglow 02:23 Peter White - Moonlight Montreal 02:27 Kim Pensyl - All I Ever Want Is You 02:32 Michael Paulo - Fusebox 02:37 Ricky Peterson - Take My Heart Away 02:42 David Benoit - El Camino Real 02:47 Kim Waters - Sweet & Saxy 02:51 Jonathan Butler - Heal Our Land 02:56 Kevin Eubanks - Eyes Of A Lost Child 03:01 Spyro Gyra - Ocean Parkway 03:06 Ben Tankard - Keynote Speaker 03:11 George Howard - You & Me 03:17 Freddie Ravel feat Anjani - Jasmine Breeze 03:21 Marion Meadows - For Lovers Only 03:24 Craig T Cooper - 25 Hours A Day 03:28 Fattburger - Come & Get It 03:33 Nelson Rangell - Tomorrow (Better You, Better Me) 03:38 Walton Ornato - Nada Mas 03:42 Michael Dowdle - Touch 03:46 Patti Austin - First Time Love 03:51 Dancing Fantasy - Cry Nature 03:57 Bob James - Wings For Sarah

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. 00:00 Eric Darken - If There Was Ever A Time 00:03 Mark Baldwin - First Touch 00:09 John Darnell - Something About You 00:13 Eric Darken - Never Enough 00:18 Eric Darken - It Was Love At First Sight 00:21 Mark Baldwin - Romantic Theme No. 1 00:26 Mark Baldwin - Sweet Impatience 00:32 Eric Darken - The Night Is Young 00:36 John Darnell - Shade Of Blue 00:42 Eric Darken - The Real Thing 00:45 Mark Baldwin - Afterglow 00:52 Mark Baldwin - A Passion Remembered 00:57 Mark Baldwin - Moon Flower 01:01 Mark Baldwin - Warm and Tender 01:08 Mark Baldwin - The Art Of Love 01:15 John Darnell - Evening Embrace 01:19 John Darnell - Still On My Mind 01:24 Eric Darken - A Love Like Ours 01:27 John Darnell - That's What Home Is For 01:31 Eric Darken - More Than You Know 01:36 Eric Darken - Everything I Dreamed Of 01:42 Mark Baldwin - First Light

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.

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. 00:00 Boney James feat Rick Braun - Grazin' In The Grass 00:05 Larry Carlton - Smiles & Smiles To Go 00:10 Spyro Gyra - Ariana 00:15 David Benoit & Russ Freeman - Stiletto Heels 00:19 Phil Perry - Groove With You 00:24 Braxton Brothers - Don't Stop 00:27 Gato Barbieri - Last Kiss 00:33 Regina Belle - From Now On 00:37 Paul Taylor - Steppin' Out 00:41 Frank Vignola - Walkin' On The Moon 00:45 Ed Calle - Joyful 00:50 Tania Maria - Come With Me 00:55 Dave Koz - You Make Me Smile 00:59 George Benson - Breezin' 01:05 Grover Washington, Jr. & Bill Withers - Just The Two Of Us 01:09 The Rippingtons - Bella Luna 01:13 Dave Valentin - Reunion 01:18 Cassandra Reed - Color Of Love 01:22 Eric Marienthal - Mist Trail 01:27 Pete Escovedo - La Samba 01:33 Dave Grusin - Mountain Dance 01:39 Sheila E. & The E.

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...

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). 00:00 Sérgio Mendes feat India.Arie - Timeless 00:03 Toninho Horta - Liana 00:08 Leo Gandelman - Antigua 00:12 Rosalia De Souza - Bossa 31 00:18 Marcos Ariel - Green Eyes 00:23 Maria Gadú - Encontro 00:27 Bob Baldwin - Everybody's Beautiful (In Brazil) 00:33 Bossacucanova - Super Ambient 00:37 Quincy Jones feat Sarah Vaughn & Take Six - Setembro (Brazilian Wedding Song) 00:42 Ray Obiedo - Macondo 00:48 Gal Costa - Faceira 00:51 Joao Gilberto - 'S Wonderful 00:55 Patricia Talem - Tarde Solar 01:00 Papik - Fujiko's Theme 01:03 Cafe Jam - Rio 01:08 Jaques Morelenbaum, Paula Morelenbaum & Ryuichi Sakamoto - Bonita 01:13 Azymuth - Samba De Barra 01:17 Leon Ware - Night In Brazil 01:23 Grooveria Electroacústica - Serrado 01:28 Antonio Adolfo - Odeon 01:32 Doris Monteiro - Nós E O Mar 01:35 Bianca Rossini - Circular 01:38 Pat Metheny Group - Better Days Ahead 01:41 Salena Jones - Useless Landscape 01:44 Paulo Barreiros - Sublime Esperanca 01:48 Mike Metheny - Love Dance 01:54 Corcovado Experience - Jazzil 01:58 Djavan - Bird Of Paradise 02:03 Milton Nascimento - Nos Dois 02:07 Herbie Mann - Sir Charles Duke 02:13 Quetzal Guerrero - Coiza Boa 02:16 Martin Böttcher - Fiesta In Belo Horizonte 02:19 Mark Murphy - Nightmood (Lembra) 02:24 Slowdown - Dreamaway 02:27 Ricardo Silveira - Moon River 02:34 Rick Braun & Richard Elliot - Sao Paulo 02:38 Ed Motta - Simple Guy 02:42 Marisa Monte - O Que Você Quer Saber de Verdade 02:44 Sandro Albert - If We Could Dance Now 02:51 Sérgio Mendes feat John Legend - Please Baby Don't 02:55 Chet Baker & Philip Catherine - Estate

Got Me Funked Up - Funkin' On The Fourth 2023

Six 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. 00:00 Jordan John - Make Way For The Funk Parade 00:05 Headhunters - Funk Hunter 00:12 Charlie Hunter - Mitch Better Have My Bunny 00:18 Cory Henry - Gotcha Now Doc 00:25 Trombone Shorty - Dumaine St. 00:27 The Brecker Brothers - Some Skunk Funk 00:33 Nathan East, Philip Bailey, Verdine White & Ralph Johnson - Serpentine Fire 00:38 Tower of Power - East Bay!

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. 00:00 Urban Knights - Baby Come To Me 00:05 Walter Beasley - Free 00:09 Bob Baldwin - The Way She Looked (At Me) 00:12 Euge Groove - Livin' Large 00:16 Warren Hill - Love Life 00:20 Jeff Lorber - All This Love 00:24 Keiko Matsui - Across The Sun 00:29 Down To The Bone - Cellar Funk 00:32 Incognito - Can't Get You Out Of My Head (The Trunkfunk Remix) 00:37 Peter White - Everyday 00:38 Alex Bugnon - Naima 00:43 Flora Purim - I've Got You Under My Skin 00:46 Jeff Lorber - Step On It 00:50 The Chicago Project - That Girl 00:53 Urban Knights - The Gypsy 00:57 Ron Haynes - On The Block 01:01 Molly Johnson - Another Day 01:04 Warren Hill - September Morning

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 first look back of three shows with the cool sounds of Narada Jazz. 00:00 Warren Hill - Mambo 2000 (Remix) 00:06 Jeff Lorber - Regardless Of 00:10 Bob Baldwin - Too Late 00:14 Alex De Grassi - Georgia On My Mind 00:17 The Ramsey Lewis Trio - Midnight At The Oasis 00:21 Frayne - For The Love Of You 00:26 Euge Groove - Thank You (Falletin' Me Be Mice Elf Again) 00:30 Keiko Matsui - Precious Time 00:34 Urban Knights - Dancing Angels 00:38 Alex Bugnon - Cascade 00:43 Scott Wilkie - Fruit Sandwich 00:48 Joyce Cooling - A Song For You 00:53 Cuba L.A. - Whisper Not 00:57 Ramsey Lewis & Nancy Wilson - Moondance 01:03 Down To The Bone - Little Smile (Remix) 01:09 Oscar Lopez - Romance 01:12 Urban Knights - The Message

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… The music in this set comes from the original shows titled Batucada (The Beat) and Deve Ser Amor (It Must Be Love). 00:00 Till Brönner feat Vanessa da Mata - O Que Será? 00:05 Italian Secret Service - Via Beato Angelico 00:13 Luíz Eça & Cordas - Tristeza De Nós Dois 00:16 John Klemmer - The Sun, The Moon & The Stars 00:19 Latin Vibe - Sexy Bossa 00:26 Eumir Deodato feat Al Jarreau - Double Face 00:32 Ricardo Silveira feat Vinicius Cantuaria - Sessão Das Onze (Wanderley) 00:37 Antonio Adolfo - Dá O Pé, Loro 00:41 Basia - Astrud 00:46 Astrud Gilberto - (Take Me To) Aruanda 00:48 Ulisses Rocha - Desatino 00:54 Trio Da Paz - Winelight 00:59 Kenia - Being Cool 01:03 Jorge Vercillio - Ventou-Ventou 01:06 Stan Getz & João Gilberto - Para Machuchar Meu Coracao 01:11 Sonia Rosa - Quem Te Viu, Quem Te Vê 01:16 Jorge Ben - Mas, Que Nada! 01:19 Nick Colionne - Brazilian Dreams 01:23 Bebel Gilberto - Azul 01:26 Leo Gandelman - A Ilha 01:32 Chris Botti & Rosa Passos - Here's That Rainy Day 01:37 Liz Rosa - Portal da Cor 01:41 Soulstance - Mainstream 01:46 Les Sabler - A Felicidade 01:50 Astrud Gilberto, Joao Gilberto & Stan Getz - The Girl From Ipanema 01:52 Boney James - Batucada (The Beat) 01:56 Azymuth - Morning 02:00 Erasmo Carlos - Mane Joao 02:03 Latin Vibe - From Paris To Rio 02:09 Beat 031 - Bela Terra eo Paraíso 02:13 Emilio Santiago - Corcovado 02:17 Gerry Mulligan & Jane Duboc - Paraíso 02:22 Toninho Horta - Luisa 02:27 Novo Tom - Sonho Brasil 02:31 Clara Moreno - Slow Motion Bossa Nova 02:35 Ryuichi Sakamoto, Paula Morelenbaum & Jaques Morelenbaum - Fotografia 02:40 Money Mark - Use A Sua Cabeca 02:42 Eumir Deodato feat Airto Moreira - Border Line 02:48 Herbie Mann - Deve Ser Amor (It Must Be Love)

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.

Arpoador Sunsets - Paradise

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.

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. 00:00 In The Name Of Love 00:03 Let It Be Me 00:07 Where Is Love 00:11 Show Me 00:16 Next Time (I Fall) 00:19 Perfect Island Night 00:24 My Flame 00:28 Don't Ask My Neighbor 00:33 I've Got You Under My Skin 00:36 Heart Of Mine 00:41 I Concentrate On You 00:45 Real Thing 00:50 All Or Nothing At All 00:54 Come To Me 00:57 What You Won't Do For Love 01:01 Our Day Will Come 01:05 Tell It Like It Is 01:09 Even Now 01:14 All The Way 01:18 I'll Be Around 01:22 Coming Down From Love 01:26 In The Afterlife 01:30 Loving You 01:34 Everytime You Say My Name 01:37 I Give In 01:43 You Go To My Head 01:47 The Best Is Yet To Come 01:50 Without Your Love 01:54 Don't Lead Me On 02:00 Crazy For Your Love

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. 00:00 Wayne Shorter - House Of Jade 00:06 Miles Davis with Wayne Shorter - Nefertiti 00:14 Wayne Shorter - Lady Day 00:20 Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers feat Wayne Shorter - Sleeping Dancer Sleep On 00:28 Miles Davis with Wayne Shorter - Sanctuary 00:36 Wayne Shorter - The Albatross 00:42 Wayne Shorter - Infant Eyes 00:49 Wayne Shorter with Herbie Hancock - Penelope 00:55 Miles Davis with Wayne Shorter - Sweet Pea 01:03 Wayne Shorter - Wild Flower 01:09 Wayne Shorter - Ana Maria 01:14 Wayne Shorter with Herbie Hancock & Ron Carter - Miyako 01:19 Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers feat Wayne Shorter - Eva (Live) 01:25 Wayne Shorter - Diana 01:28 Wayne Shorter - Virgo 01:35 Miles Davis with Wayne Shorter - Iris 01:43 Wayne Shorter with Herbie Hancock - Aung San Suu Kyi 01:49 Wayne Shorter - Teru 01:55 Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers feat Wayne Shorter - Contemplation 02:01 Miles Davis with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams & Ron Carter - Vonetta 02:07 Wayne Shorter - Face Of The Deep

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.

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… 00:00 Daryl Hall & John Oates - Christmas Must Be Tonight 00:04 Michael McDonald - Every Time Christmas Comes Around 00:07 Little River Band - We Three Kings 00:12 America - Winter Holidays 00:15 Christopher Cross - The Best Christmas 00:20 Richard Page - What Child Is This 00:23 Patti Austin - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas 00:27 Dan Fogelberg - The First Christmas Morning 00:31 REO Speedwagon - I Believe In Santa Claus 00:34 James Taylor - Some Children See Him 00:38 Chicago - God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen 00:41 Jimmy Buffett - Ho Ho Ho And A Bottle Of Rhum 00:45 Firefall - Christmas In Love 00:48 Al Jarreau - The Christmas Song 00:52 Kenny Loggins - White Christmas 00:56 Donald Fagen - Snowbound 01:03 Gino Vannelli - Christmas Eve 01:08 Air Supply - Winter Wonderland 01:10 Steve Lukather - O Tannenbaum 01:13 Lionel Richie - The First Noel 01:16 Peter Cetera - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town 01:19 Rod Stewart - Silver Bells 01:23 Stevie Nicks - Silent Night 01:27 Luther Vandross - My Favorite Things 01:33 Carole King - Christmas Paradise 01:36 Bobby Caldwell - The Joy Of Christmas 01:40 Captain & Tennille - Christmas In California 01:42 Patti LaBelle - Reason For The Season 01:47 The Tribe & All-Star Friends - This Christmas 01:51 Earth, Wind & Fire - December

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… 00:00 Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - Blues March 00:06 Thelonious Monk - In Walked Bud 00:09 Miles Davis - It Never Entered My Mind 00:13 Johnny Griffin - Nice And Easy 00:17 The Horace Silver Quintet - Señor Blues 00:23 Cannonball Adderley - Dancing In The Dark 00:27 Grant Green - Old Folks 00:31 Dexter Gordon - I Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry 00:37 Herbie Hancock - Cantaloupe Island 00:42 Jacky Terrasson & Cassandra Wilson - Tennessee Waltz 00:47 Joe Lovano - Body & Soul 00:54 Norah Jones - The Nearness Of You 00:57 Jason Moran - Gentle Shifts South 01:00 Gregory Porter - Liquid Spirit 01:04 Sidney Bechet - Summertime

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... 00:00 Love's Serenade 00:04 Jackson Park 00:09 Baile Del Alma 00:15 Thinking About Your Love 00:19 Sweet Home Chicago 00:23 Les Fleurs 00:28 After The Rain 00:34 With A Gentle Touch 00:39 Sun Goddess 00:48 Tonight w/ Eve Cornelious 00:53 Got To Give It Up 00:56 People Make The World Go 'Round 01:02 Midnight Rendezvous 01:05 Summer Samba 01:08 Hi-Heel Sneakers 01:13 A Night In Bahia 01:18 Fragile 01:22 Carmen 01:25 Portugese Love 01:28 The Shape Of My Heart 01:34 Nicole 01:38 A Song For Jan 01:42 Who Are You 01:50 Love Song 01:55 Pavanne 01:59 Sarah Jane 02:03 Romance Me 02:08 The Two Of Us w/ Nancy Wilson 02:13 Midnight At The Oasis 02:16 Between The Keys 02:20 Julia 02:25 Sky Islands 02:29 Estrellita

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.

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… 00:00 Soul Dancing 00:06 On The Street Where You Live 00:14 Naima 00:18 Moonlight In Vermont 00:27 You Don't Know What Love Is 00:34 A Real Goodun' 00:41 Back At The Chicken Shack 00:46 One Hundred Ways 00:55 Puttin' On The Ritz 01:01 What's New 01:07 Nancy (With The Laughing Face) 01:13 Georgia On My Mind 01:18 How Insensitive 01:29 That's All 01:35 Romancin' The Moon 01:41 Can't We Begin Again 01:44 Give It Up 01:50 All Or Nothing At All 01:56 My Funny Valentine 02:02 Don't Worry 'Bout Me 02:08 How Little We Know 02:11 Fly Me To The Moon 02:16 They Say It's Wonderful 02:21 Lament 02:27 Arizona Sunrise 02:32 Incognito 02:37 Everyday I Have The Blues 02:43 Goodfellas 02:49 Funk Pie 02:55 Gloria 03:01 Cobalt Blue 03:07 I Concentrate On You 03:13 I Wish You Love 03:17 Organ Grinder's Swing 03:19 The Way You Make Me Feel 03:24 Stop Leading Me On 03:27 Moanin' 03:33 Love For Sale 03:40 Yes Or No 03:45 Twisted Blues 03:49 Young Love 03:57 I'll Close My Eyes 04:05 Yesterdays 04:13 Just Squeeze Me 04:19 Black Nile 04:26 The Street Of Dreams 04:29 I'm Confessin'

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. 00:00 Spyro Gyra - PG 00:04 Joe Sample - New Places, New Faces 00:09 Jonathan Butler - 7th Avenue South 00:14 Sade - You're Not the Man 00:19 Peter Kater - Coming Home 00:23 Dave Grusin & Lee Ritenour – San Ysidro 00:28 Andy Narell feat Steve Erquiaga, Keith Jones, Kenneth Nash & William Kennedy - Slow Motion 00:33 Alphonse Mouzon - Jean-Pierre 00:36 Shakatak – Round and Round 00:41 Justo Almario - Song for Lea 00:47 Tania Maria - Don't Go 00:51 Special EFX - Buttermilk Falls 00:57 Earl Klugh - Close To Your Heart 01:02 Yellowjackets – Homecoming 01:08 David Benoit - Stingray 01:12 Michael Franks – Please Don't Say Goodnight 01:17 Kirk Whalum - Afterthought 01:23 Dave Valentin - Oasis 01:29 Eddie Daniels – Circle Dance 01:34 Sadao Watanabe - Maisha 01:39 Miles Davis- Time After Time 01:45 Hiroshima - I Do Remember 01:49 Flim & The BBs - Rebecca's Hideaway 01:53 Sting - Consider Me Gone 01:57 Stanley Jordan – A Child Is Born

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”. 00:00 Soundscape UK - Take One 00:05 Cane Garden Quartet - Como a Aguia 00:10 Quintetto X - The Jody Grind 00:14 Marcos Valle feat Joyce - Valeu 00:19 Cujo (Amon Tobin) - The Brazilianaire 00:25 Nicola Conte – Tema I Hi-Fi 00:30 Ultralights - Orbit Lounge 00:34 Incognito – Thats The Way Of The Word 00:40 Ensemble Sideral - Tango Vertical 00:45 Bebo Best & The Superlounge Orchestra – Dolce Vita 00:50 Juju Orchestra – King Of Latin Rhythm 00:57 DJ Day - Sunday 01:01 Montefiori Cocktail – Mas Que Nada 01:06 La Monja - Tambores Urbanos 01:11 Samba Rock - Euforia do Amor 01:16 Funk 4 Sale – Ocean Games 01:19 Kusuma Orchestra - Caravan 01:25 Os Morcegos - Extravaganza 01:30 Rosalia De Souza – Maria Moita 01:35 Josh Rouse - His Majesty Rides 01:38 Don Gorda & Solanos - Festa do Sol

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. 00:00 How Do You Keep The Music Playing?

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… 00:00 Sonny Lim - Punahele 00:03 Kevin Teves - Saddle Road 00:08 Bob Brozman & Led Kaapana - Lei 'Awapuhi (Yellow Ginger Lei) 00:13 Ledward Kaapana - Whee Ha Swing 00:15 Ken Emerson - Paniolo Medley 00:17 Ray Kane - Punahele 00:21 John Keawe - Kaulana Na Pua 00:25 Doug & Sandy McMaster - Menehune Night 00:35 Sonny Lim - Hi'ilawe 00:38 George Kuo - Waikiki Hula Medley 00:43 Keola Beamer & George Winston - Kalena Kai 00:47 Jeff Peterson - Kahealani 00:51 Charles Michael Brotman - Dolphin Days 00:54 Jim Kimo West - Hanalei Morning 00:58 Leonard Kwan & Ozzie Kotani - Slack Key Serenade 01:00 Cyril Pahinui & Bob Brozman - Hilo E - E Lili'u E 01:04 Randy Lorenzo - Island Style 01:09 Keola Beamer - E Ku'u Morning Dew

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… *US listeners; due to copyright laws/issues, this show may not be available.

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… 00:00 Ken Emerson - Miloli'i Slack Key 00:03 Randy Lorenzo - Nai'o 00:06 Kevin Kamaka Mullen - Slack Key Numba Tree 00:11 Ozzie Kotani - Ku'u Kika Kahiko (My Old Guitar) 00:15 John Cruz - Jo Bo's Night Out 00:17 Keoki Kahumoku - Noe Noe Uakea 00:20 Bryan Kessler - Give A Lei 00:23 Cindy Combs - Whispering Hope 00:29 Jeff Peterson - Manoa Rain 00:32 Keola Beamer - Kalena Kai 00:36 Cyril Pahinui - Panini Pua Kea 00:40 Sonny Chillingworth - Moe 'Uhane (Dream Slack Key) 00:43 John Keawe - Pu'uanahulu 00:47 Charles Michael Brotman - Julia's Whisper 00:51 Kohala - Sunflower 00:55 James Bla Pahinui - Maori Brown Eyes 00:59 Charles Michael Brotman - Kiholo Moon 01:02 Sonny Lim - Kiho'alu Jam 01:05 Leonard Kwan - Ke'ala's Mele

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”. 00:00 Nobukazu Takemura – Moonstone 00:05 Vibrazioni Productions - Too Much 00:11 Astor Piazzolla Vs Koop – Vuelvo Al Sur 00:15 Jimpster - Wild Light 00:23 Democustico - Summer of Flora (Danny Breaks Remix) 00:30 Club Camarillo - No Mundo Inteiro 00:35 Roby J.C.

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… 00:00 Ray Kane - Popoki Slack Key 00:02 Jeff Peterson - Kaua'i Beauty 00:06 Keola Beamer - 'Imi Au la 'Oe 00:09 Bryan Kessler - Celtic Summer 00:12 Keoki Kahumoku - Circle Song 00:14 Ledward Kaapana - Wood & Steel Slack Key 00:19 Cyril Pahinui - Kowali 00:22 Charlie Recaido - Kanaka Nova 00:26 Jim Kimo West - The Hawaiian Wedding Song 00:28 Sonny Lim - Mehameha 00:31 Barney Isaacs & George Kuo - Maui Medley 00:38 Sonny Chillingworth - Liloa's Mele 00:40 Charles Michael Brotman - Hapuna Sunset 00:44 Kohala - Kona Breeze 00:49 Moses Kahumoku - Pohakuloa 00:54 John Keawe - Keiki Slack Key 00:58 Ken Emerson - Hamakua Hale 01:02 Sonny Lim - Anuhea's Song 01:05 George Kahumoku - Aloha 'Oe

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”. 00:00 Fez Combo – Gospelito 00:06 No Se - Cigar 00:11 De Phazz - Jeunesse Dorée 00:16 Ursula – Samba 1000 00:20 Marc Mac - Dirty Old Bossa Nova 00:24 Carla Callet - Rhythmo 00:28 The Jazz Steppers - Samba For Dais 00:33 Jazzedelic - El Sabor 00:38 New Cool Collective - Big Mondays 00:44 Blue Cat - Playing Hard To Get 00:48 Club Camarillo - Jogando 00:53 Baghira - Way Too Long 00:59 Rey Salinero - Meu Universo da Felicidade 01:04 Juju Orchestra - What Is Hip 01:10 Shakatak - Havana Express 01:14 Mo-Horizons - Como é o ar 01:20 Paula Lima - E Isso Ai (Get Cape Wear Cape Fly Remix) 01:24 Aromabar mixed by Mo-Horizons - Little Brother 01:31 Reminiscence Quartet – Saudade 01:35 Enrico Donner - Side Chain Reactions 01:41 Dynamic 4 - What A Difference A Day Made 01:44 Hardage Feat Jocelyn Brown – Beautiful Day

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. 00:00 Letter To Hermione feat Bilal 00:04 Dillalude #2 00:13 I Stand Alone feat Common & Patrick Stump 00:18 Black Radio feat Yasiin Bey 00:22 Gonna Be Alright (F.T.B.) feat Ledisi 00:27 A Love Supreme 00:32 I Don’t Even Care feat Macy Gray & Jean Grae 00:35 Butterfly by Bilal feat Robert Glasper 00:42 Move Love feat King 00:45 Smells Like Teen Spirit 00:52 Twice feat Solange Knowles & The Roots 01:01 Thinkin Bout You 01:04 The Consequences Of Jealousy feat Me'Shell N'Degeocello 01:09 Ah Yeah feat Musiq Soulchild & Chrisette Michele 01:14 Afro Blue feat Erykah Badu 01:19 Cherish The Day feat Lalah Hathaway 01:24 Always Shine feat Lupe Fiasco & Bilal 01:29 Calls feat Jill Scott 01:34 Lovely Day 01:39 Let It Ride feat Norah Jones

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.

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”. 00:00 Bossa Nostra - Kharmalion 00:04 L.E.D. - Bossa de Saudade 00:09 Club Camarillo - Sem Tensao 00:14 Cuban Jazz Combo - Remember Cal (Panaphonic Nujazz House Remix) 00:20 Quintetto X - Esquema Da Bossa 00:25 Incognito – Stone Cold Heart 00:31 Free Flow - Free Flow Theme 00:38 Rosalia de Souza – Luiza Manequim 00:42 Soundscape UK - Full Circle 00:47 Jorge Ben - Sou Da Pasada (7 Samurai Afroraduno Mix) 00:51 Nicola Conte - Not The Same 00:55 Dimitri from Paris - Sacre Francais 01:00 Ultralights - Aristarchus (Kiss In The Moon) 01:06 Marcos Vale - Bossa Brava 01:11 Zouro - Tempo Se Muda 01:17 Emo - In the Back of the Car (Nostalgia 77 Remix) 01:22 Montefiori Cocktail - Agua de beber 01:26 Blue Wave - Eu Sou Carioca 01:31 Mario Pinosa Trio - Dubbing Bossa 01:36 Balanço 77 - Coisa Nossa 01:40 Os Modernistas - Rainy Day

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. 00:00 Águas de Março (Waters of March) 00:05 Bowing To Bud 00:11 There Will Never Be Another You 00:15 Call Me 00:19 The Impossible Dream 00:25 Photograph (Fotografia) 00:29 Through The Fire 00:34 Na Batucada Da Vida 00:40 Time Alone 00:47 Swept Away 00:53 Back In Time 00:58 That Old Feeling 01:01 Garota De Ipanema 01:05 Running 01:09 Not To Cry (Pra Não Chorar) 01:13 The Barber’s Song 01:18 What Does He Want Of Me 01:24 Blue Room 01:26 Copacabana 01:32 Oye Como Va 01:36 I Fall In Love Too Easily 01:39 Dindi 01:45 Chan's Song 01:51 I Thought About You 01:56 My Cherie Amour 02:00 Dreamer (Vivo Sonhando) 02:04 This Can’t Be Love 02:08 You’re Getting To Be A Habit With Me 02:11 Baubles, Bangles and Beads 02:16 Light My Fire 02:22 Paulistana 02:26 Brasil (Aquarela Do Brasil) 02:31 Cross Current 02:36 That's All It Was 02:41 Searching 02:46 Movin' Me On

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. 00:00 Mystic Diversions - Miniatures of You 00:04 Noel Pointer - Night Song 00:10 Perry Joslin - Tea at Trianon 00:14 Mike Murray - Sun Breezes 00:20 Phil Davis - Night Rumble 00:25 David Boswell -It's Possible 00:30 Rob Zinn - Journey of the Heart 00:35 Bob James & David Sanborn - Moon Tune 00:42 Paul Dozier - My Good Thing 00:46 Sherry Rivers - Keep It Real 00:50 Magdalena Chovancova - Easily In Love 00:56 Dave Muse - Dreamers 01:01 Tony Craddock Jr - 1102 Bradfield Hall 01:06 Dave Bradshaw Jr - Fire Dance 01:10 Michael Manson - Still Thinking About You 01:15 Ragan Whiteside - Memories of You 01:19 Jeff Lorber Fusion - Night Love 01:25 Darron McLinney - Never Alone 01:28 Denny Jiosa - Missing You 01:33 Joey Edwin - Cool Cat 01:36 Carol Albert - Transition 01:40 Chris Guthrie Project - Bombi's Bounce 01:44 Antonio Jackson - Just Like Heaven 01:50 Jonathan Fritzén - A New Beginning 01:56 Urban Jazz Coalition - Pleasure Seeker 02:03 Eddie Bullen - Good Looking Out 02:08 Lin Rountree - My Time with You 02:12 Ronnie Smith - Laid Back 02:16 Dennis Nelson - Rolling with Passion 02:20 Times4 - Crosswinds 02:29 Eric Essix - New Focus 02:35 Earl Klugh - I'll Be Waiting

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/ The tracklist for this show can be found in the comments below. 00:00 Kirk Whalum - The Wave 00:05 Tim Heintz - Dear Jacqui 00:10 Pamela Williams - Castine 00:15 Bryan Savage - Caribbean Dream 00:20 Justo Almario - Plumbline 00:24 Lara & Reyes - Cielo Sin Nubes 00:28 Peter Horvath - Taken Hearts 00:32 Donald Harrison - The Tropic of Cool 00:37 Ray Parker Jr - After Midnite 00:41 Richard Elliot - Sweet Dream 00:46 David Blamires Group - Deep Is the Midnight Sea 00:52 Rob Mullins - Making Love 00:58 Alphonse Mouzon - Early Spring 01:03 Slim Man - Faith In Us 01:09 Warren Bernhardt - Felinicity 01:13 Russ Freeman - Jamaican Nights 01:18 Strange Cargo - El Ninjo 01:23 Ottmar Liebert - Surrender 2 Love 01:27 Bass X - Vonnie 01:31 Gregg Karukas - Nightshift 01:35 East Bounce - Somewhere I Never Travelled 01:41 Leo Gandelman - Solar 01:46 Dancing Fantasy - Cry Nature 01:52 Hugh Marsh - Always In My Heart 01:56 James Robinson - Tales of Change 02:00 Craig Chaquico - Lights Out San Francisco 02:03 Yoshio Suzuki - What Do You Do When It's Spring 02:10 Zachary Breaux - Coming Home Baby

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. 00:00 Brassroots - Seven Nation Army 00:03 Cory Henry feat Phil Lassiter - Afro Brooklyn 00:09 The Brand New Heavies - Brother Sister 00:14 Incognito - Rivers On The Sun 00:19 Brooklyn Funk Essentials - Take The L Train (To Brooklyn) 00:25 Erik Truffaz - Bending New Corners 00:33 Roy Ayers Ubiquity - I Just Wanna Give It Up 00:37 Saint Germain feat John Lee Hooker - Sure Thing 00:43 Chick Corea feat Al Jarreau - Hot News Blues 00:50 Marcus Miller - Power Of Soul 00:57 Stanley Clarke - Quite Afternoon 01:02 Trombone Shorty - Here Come The Girls 01:05 Snarky Puppy - Shofukan 01:12 Kamasi Washington - The Rhythm Changes 01:19 Nicholas Payton - Cannabis Leaf Rag 1 01:23 Weather Report - Teen Town 01:26 Brassroots - Good Life 01:29 Nicholas Payton - Cannabis Leaf Rag 2 01:31 Robert Glasper Experiment feat Erykah Badu - Afro Blue 01:36 Terence Blanchard & The E Collective - Hannibal 01:46 Frank Russell - Tutu 01:52 Miles Davis - Jean Pierre 02:03 Marcus Miller - Slippin’ Into Darkness 02:12 Earth, Wind and Fire - Getaway 02:16 Incognito - Barumba (Daniel Maunick's Mix) 02:22 McCoy Tyner - Fly With The Wind 02:30 Gregory Porter - 1960 What? 02:42 Ramsey Lewis - Living for the City 02:47 Jamiroquai - Summer Girl 02:53 Herbie Hancock - Chameleon

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. 00:00 The Halftones - Operazione Pummarola 00:04 Paula Lima – È isso a Capefly (Remix) 00:08 Mo-Horizons – Bar Rumba 00:14 Na Massa - Enladeirada 00:17 Madrid De Los Austrias - Los Caños de Meca 00:23 Juju Orchestra - Nâo Posso Demorar (Dubben Remix) 00:27 Night Trains - Robin's Groove 00:31 Rey Salinero - Bossamor 00:37 Club Camarillo - Etoile Du Sud 00:42 Exodus Quartet - Oye Rene 00:46 De Phazz – Godsdog 00:49 The Sura Quintet & Pato - Distância 00:55 Reminiscence Quartet - Saudade 00:59 Bungalove - So Eu E Vocè 01:03 Hacienda - Working Class Glamour 01:08 Enrico Donner - Golfinhos 01:14 Baghira - Novas Visões 01:19 Jazz Stuff Combo - Kind of Rainbow 01:24 Alpha Session e Rosy Fragão – Espera 01:30 Duncan Millar - Smokee Vibes 01:35 Big Bang - To the Full Every Minute (Yam Who Rework) 01:41 Sergio Bore - Voices of Percussion

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.

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. 01 - Jazz to Me 02 - Movin' On 03 - Canopy 04 - Empty Days Lonely Nights 05 - Factuality 06 - Near Calcutta 07 - Back to Sentosa 08 - Wind Chimes 09 - Catalina 10 - East West Lullaby 11 - Concourse 23 12 - Far Away 13 - Rain Day 14 - Lemon Pepper 15 - El Camino Real 16 - There'll Be a Time 17 - El Mercado 18 - Island Breeze 19 - That's What I'm Sayin' 20 - Picnic 21 - Project 10 22 - Daylight 23 - White Sands https://mikemurraymusic.com

We haven’t been together for several weeks, but I’ve really missed you. Being apart though can bring people closer. Tonight, let’s get close again. As the evening and the music surround us, fall into my arms. Let’s bring back those good feelings we’ve shared before and create new ones. That’s not too much to ask for, is it? This is Night Sessions - Give In To Me, music to follow us through the night. 00:00 Euge Groove feat JC Chasez - Give In To Me 00:04 Mike Murray - Song for Kim 00:08 Boney James - Skylark 00:12 George Benson - Johnnie Lee 00:18 Thaizinho Costa - Au Lever Du Soleil 00:21 Phil Sheeran - Orchid 00:26 Dancing Fantasy - Say You Will 00:30 Gary Smith - Azur 00:36 Eric Essix - (At Your Best) You Are Love 00:42 Patrick Yandall - Passion 00:47 David Samartin - Strut 00:51 Masayoshi Takanaka - Amanatsu 00:58 Hiroko Kukubu - Innocence of Spring 01:02 Vincent Ingala - Read Between The Lines 01:06 Roberto Vazquez & Marion Meadows - Never Far Away 01:11 Richard Elliot - All Night 01:16 Andre Ward - Night Flight 01:20 Brian Simpson - Let's Get Close 01:24 Khan Jamal - Lovely Afternoon 01:31 Jeffrey Smith - Enjoy The Ride
