Editorial Reviews
Product Description
We are proud to present Volume 9 of Seattle's 98.9 Smooth Jazz KWJZ CD Sampler. Each year we bring a mix of music that is typical of the songs aired on 98.9 FM, featuring artists that represent our genre of music and bring a relaxing and enjoyable experience to our listener. This year we've assembled 12 world-class artists for our benefit fundraising project.

The funds raised from this CD will go directly to The Jackson Street Music Program, named in honor of the famed historical Seattle music district that flourished from the 30's through the 50's. The Jackson Street district's abundance of talent helped influence such great artists as: Ray Charles, Quincy Jones, Jimi Hendrix and many others who have shared their talents around the world. The program's goal is to inspire youth's creativity as well as their social and cultural productivity by promoting life skills and creative thinking through the art of music. The Jackson Street Music Program is located at The Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center and administered by the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center Advisory Council.

Our thanks go to all the people who worked so hard and helped make this project a success, the artists who gave us permission to present their music in the compilation, and to all the loyal listeners of 98.9 Smooth Jazz KWJZ.

3 out of 5 stars Another addition to the KWJZ 98.9 Smooth Jazz series.......2007-01-10


If you already collect the KWJZ 98.9 Smooth Jazz series, as many Smooth Jazz fans in the Seattle area do, then you will probably want to own this CD as well.

That said, I don't think this is the best CD in the 98.9 series. While only a couple of songs are really below par (especially the smultzy "Biggest Part of Me"), some of the choices could have been much better.

I was particularly puzzled by the dated nature of some songs. From a sampler such as this, one normally wants all songs that debuted or hit big in the year the sampler was released (which, in this case, is late 2006). So why so much old material here?

In particular, I don't think "September" -- an Earth, Wind & Fire hit from the late-70s -- belongs on a Smooth Jazz sampler CD in the first place, let alone one put out in 2006.

In the end, if you already collect the KWJZ 98.9 Smooth Jazz series, then you will probably want to own this CD as well. If you don't, this is not the first one you want to buy.
