smooth jazz is my favorite: fourplay, marion meadows, euge groove, the late wayman tisdale. the world of jazz really suffered a great loss with his passing.

Just wouldn't be right to ignore Nina Simone...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEQpipS_qfc Nina Simone... Love Me or Leave Me

I love the way she adds a chamber music touch…..

 

[audeamus]

all of the music being posted here is wonderful. i thought i would leave something to jumpstart everyone's friday.... bob james featuring kirk whalum on flute. kirk whalum is brilliant on the saxophone but what he does with this flute is delicious. and bob james on piano....simply beautiful.

i have to admit that when i was younger, i watched at a few episodes of taxi here and there but my favorite part was the introduction song, angela. i loved hearing that song while watching that taxi drive across the queensboro bridge. i didn't find out the name of the song and that bob james wrote it originally until i was older, i always thought the song was called taxi.

enjoy angela by bob james featuring kirk whalum

Diane Reeves - Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me

 

[audeamus]

i love that song -- phil collins also did a nice version of it.

thank you for your kind words.

i can't seem to find stanley turrentine playing in a sentimental mood, but there is an artist by the name of ledisi whose version of the song, coupled with the background music, just moves me. she has such a powerful gift.

i hope you enjoy this piece.


in a sentimental mood : ledisi

 

[texasace]

WOW.. Ledisi is a jazz giant...

Just like this one...
