Considered one of the originators of the Smooth Jazz genre, Pianist Lonnie Liston Smith shares with us his view of music as the universal language.  He'll demonstrate that philosophy with a song titled "Quiet Moments."


Featured Artist:  Chris Botti


Chris Botti

Chris joins us in the Studio Suite to explain how he applies the strategy of Chess to his music.   The featured song is Back Into My Heart from his A Thousand Kisses Deep CD.


Featured Artist:  Joyce Cooling

Let's face it, Smooth Jazz is feel good music -- relaxing, often invigorating, perhaps even reaching the soul.  The question is -- how do artists seem to conjure that sort of mood? Do they  wake every morning in an elated state of mind?  Joyce Cooling sets us straight, sort of ;-]


Featured Artist:  Dave Koz


Dave Koz

Was Dave Koz's career a chance happening?  Absolutely not ... you can't repress that talent and charisma, but he explains, chance did play a big roll in his big opportunity to be discovered.

Russ Freeman

No doubt we appreciate the music our favorite artists produce ... the Smooth Vibes that keep us sane day in and out.  But, don't you wonder what they'd be doing, if not music.  Russ Freeman shares his thoughts on that question.
