Let's talk....
Though this blog is about Smooth Jazz, I can't help but think about the passing of James Brown the "Godfather of Soul" yesterday. Deaths such as this let us know that life is fleeting, no matter who we are.... make the most of yours please. Thank God daily and strive on.
And yes my friends, it is the day after Christmas and those of us who aren't out returning unwanted or ill fitting gifts are at home trying to recover from the hustle and bustle of this increasingly chaotic season.
No better time than this to relax with our favorite music - Smooth Jazz!
This morning's song - for some reason I'm drawn to a fav from Joyce Cooling - "Green Impala" from the 2004 CD "This Girl's Got To Play"
Woke up remembering her performance this past summer at the Detroit Intl. Jazz Fest on Campus Martius, this young lady is the real deal. Check out "Toast and Jam" too.
So, turn off the T.V. (if you don't know where the after-Christmas sales are, you can't be helped) brew up the java, slip on the new slippers, get comfortable in your favorite spot and let Lady Cooling do her thing.
By the way, if you like discovering new music as you work on the computer, tune in to www.Pandora.com. They'll set up a radio station playing music similar to any artist you name. If you want to hear music that sounds like Joyce Cooling just type her name in when asked. Its all free and you can listen to existing stations from other listeners too.
We'll talk....
