Day 52: Jazz Cafe

My Best Guess: Were the smooth, melodic stylings of Planet Jazz too manic and up-tempo for your tastes? Then check out the coma-inducing riffs of Jazz Cafe...the lighter side of jazz.

According to Sirius: Sophisticated, elegant, relaxing...smooth jazz for the way you live today.

Curt's Rebuttal: Wow...I was trying to be a smartass in my opening desription, and it sounds like I damn near hit the nail on the head. Zzzzz...

Sample Playlist:
  • Sting, Fragile
  • Herbie Hancock, Thieves in the Temple
  • Peter White, What Does it Take (To Win Your Love)
  • Euge Groove, Born to Groove
  • Chuck Loeb, High Five
  • Four 80 East, Noodle Soup
High Point: Seeing the title of the Sting track above, and having it remind of A Christmas Story: "Fra-jeel-ay...that must be Italian..."

Verdict: Recall my excitement at having to listen to Planet Jazz for two days straight? Well, it was not a happy moment when I found out not only was I listening to more jazz...but that I was listening to the elevator music-like softer side of jazz. I expected the music to be interrupted every thirty seconds or so by a recorded voice saying "Please continue to hold...your call is very important to us." We shall see if I have more jazz awaiting me on the next channel...
