Twenty Great Songs!.......2004-07-13

Disc One is packed with 10 Smooth Jazz hits from 2003/2004. The cool thing is that some of these songs are the actual radio edits or hot remixes that you can't buy anywhere else and are only available to radio stations. Not all songs are edits or remixes, but several are and they sound awesome.

1. Mindi Abair - Lucy's
2. Chieli Minucci - Kickin' It Hard
3. J Thompson - Tell Me The Truth
4. The Rippingtons - Stingray
5. Daryl Hall - Cab Driver
6. Bob James - Morning, Noon & Night
7. Peter White - Bueno Funk
8. Joan Osborne - I'll Be Around
9. Norman Brown - Just Chillin'
10. Steve Oliver - Positive Energy

Disc Two is a bonus disc, also jammed full with 10 songs from killer up and coming new artists. I actually like this CD as much as the first disc!

1. George Shelby - Touch
2. Eric Darius - Love TKO
3. Ray Fuller - Weeper's Thang
4. Above The Clouds - Loreto Sunset
5. Fortune Vinson Cruse - You're The One
6. Steve Briody - Orchard Walk
7. Nura - We're Not Alone
8. Freddie Fox - From The Heart
9. Plan 9 - Mona's Smile
10. G-Fire - Flight To Estascy

Bottom Line: If you're a Smooth Jaz fan or if you know a Smooth Jazz fan, this is a MUST HAVE.
