| | Late Night Rendezvous CD
In 2007, Rendezvous Entertainment, the popular indie label founded by sax superstar Dave Koz and industry vets Hyman Katz and Frank Cody, released two wonderful compilation discs to celebrate two exciting events: its five year anniversary and, perhaps more importantly, its success as the label with the number one market share in smooth jazz radio. While Smooth Ones focused on chart-topping hits by Rendezvous artists and other genre stars, Late Night Rendezvous was dedicated to a batch of ten "under the radar" tracks from the company's diverse roster of smooth jazz and chill artists. Sometimes the two subgenres intersect, as on guitarist Marc Antoine's sultry and hypnotic "Gotham" and Praful's mystical "We Live On." Most tracks are specifically jazz or chill, ranging from Camiel's soothing and ambient "You Can Stay" to the vocal on Kyle Eastwood's pop-jazz driven "Leave It" and Wayman Tisdale's thoughtful and romantic "Shape of Your Heart." Other great artists included on this perfect late night soundtrack are Brian Simpson, Michael Lington, the Philippe Saisse Trio and -- last but not least -- the masterful chill producers Adani & Wolf. For fans who wanted to understand the cool connections between smooth jazz and chill in the early 2000s, this disc is the ultimate primer. ~ Jonathan Widran Late Night Rendezvous Music Late Night Rendezvous Songs Late Night Rendezvous Review

Tenor-saxophonist Javon Jackson's Now is a bit surprising, being a modern soul-jazz set rather than hard bop, with Jackson (who normally hints strongly at Joe Henderson) sounding close at times to Grover Washington, Jr. Actually, other ...
| | Nils Ready To Play CD (2007)
Late Night Rendezvous album
$12.29 
In smooth jazz, a number one radio hit is all it takes to turn an emerging talent into a bona fide genre star who gets all the best festival bookings. Raised on Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and lots of funk, Munich-born guitarist Nils was the big genre story in 2005, breaking through with the lively title track from his in-the-pocket debut, Pacific Coast Highway; the song was number one on the Radio & Records airplay chart for seven weeks and was dubbed the most played song in the format for the year. Inspired by this success, Nils offered no big surprises but still engaged his fans just as much on Ready to Play, a disc that kept his sleek, crisp electric axe front and center while further exploring his pop, jazz, and R&B-driven options. Almost as if it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, he titled the first single "Ready to Play," which was one of those immediately infectious, grooving, and percussive tracks that radio and listeners could gobble up. Also perfect for another drive down PCH are the sensual "Just Smile"; the dreamy and ambient wordless vocal-enhanced "Catnap" (which taps into a trippy electronica sound); the old-schoolin' funk of "Sunrise on Sunset"; and the hardest-grooving track of all, "Hi Five." Rather than rely on much machinery, Nils made a great decision to let the music reflect the seamless ensemble energy of his live performances. His whole touring band is featured: bassist Alex ...

$11.49
This nicely selected retrospective tries to cram in 40-plus years of innovation from one of jazz's greatest instrumentalists. It's a tall order, but THEN AND NOW: THE DEFINITIVE HERBIE HANCOCK doesn't aim to be comprehensive. Instead, it skims the highlights, pulling from Hancock's early BLUE NOTE solo outings ("Maiden Voyage," "Cantaloupe Island") all the way through to his Joni Mitchell tribute, RIVER. In between are funk/fusion workouts (the eternally groovy "Chameleon") ...
