Soon, she and Rateliff are once again harmonizing on the chorus, at times evoking the freewheeling vibes of the Band and Joni Mitchell.

Smooth Jazz Chillout Lounge Smooth Jazz Saxophone
#smoothjazz #jazzmusic #chilloutmusic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ytFg0hFad8
"Smooth jazz is music that evolved from a blend of jazz fusion and easy listening pop music, featuring a polished pop feel with little to no jazz improvisation. The genre arose in the mid-1970s in the United States, but it was not named "smooth jazz" until the 1980s. Traditional jazz players and jazz purists did not embrace the popular style; Jazz Journal's "Sound Investment" column stated in November 1999 that it "would cover an extremely wide spectrum of jazz styles" while avoiding smooth jazz.
The earliest smooth jazz music appearing in the 1970s includes the 1975 album Touch by saxophonist John Klemmer, the song "Breezin'" as performed by guitarist George Benson in 1976, the 1977 instrumental composition "Feels So Good" by flugelhorn player Chuck Mangione, and jazz fusion group Spyro Gyra's instrumental "Morning Dance", released in 1979. Smooth jazz grew in popularity in the 1980s as Anita Baker, Sade, Al Jarreau and Grover Washington released multiple hit songs. The smooth jazz genre began to decline at the end of the 1980s in a backlash exemplified by critical complaints about what many critics saw as the "bland" sound of top-selling saxophonist Kenny G, whose popularity peaked with his 1992 album Breathless." ~Wikipedia

https://static.billboard.com/files/m...compressed.jpg
In preparation for her upcoming album, ALPHA, Charlotte Day Wilson released her second single of the spring, "Keep Moving." Coupled with an equally potent visual, the single centers love from a distance with parallels to life at large, Wilson singing, "Sometimes, I need something that's so far from me/ But if it's not meant to be/ I gotta keep moving." The visual artfully spotlights underrepresented love stories, while Wilson cruises under pink and blue moonlit skies.

"Borracho Bailando Champeta"
Seconds into the video for “Borracho Bailando Champeta,” the singer Kevin Florez walks by a neon-bright pico, the booming sound systems known for roaring out Afro-Colombian melodies at dance parties in predominantly Black communities across Colombia’s Caribbean coasts. These iridescent selectors have been called the “radio stations of champeta,” a genre that’s deeply rooted in African music traditions and originated in the Palenque region around the 1960s and 1970s — and the sound that Florez and the producer Captain Planet proudly highlight on “Borracho Bailando Champeta.

Alicia Keys & Kehlani Talk Love Songs
https://www.rollingstone.com/wp-cont..._KEHLANI2c.jpg
When Kehlani was growing up in Oakland in the 2000s, Alicia Keys was part of the soundtrack to her life.
