Hey Folks! The Rhythms In Black Satin Cupid’s Hunt 2009 entry *is* on it’s way. Got a little behind schedule due to some other “priorities” last night. *smile* It’ll be worth the wait, I promise!

Good Morning, Afternoon, Evening or whatever time of the day it is where you are while you are reading this. *smile* The Rhythms In Black Satin entry of the Cupid’s Hunt 2009 Podcast Event is finally ready!

However, before we talk about this particular mix, let me just send a shout out and acknowledgment for a job well done to all of the fine and talented podcasters and bloggers who make this thing happen. It is truly enjoyable for me to work with and share my love of music with each and every one of you. And this Valentine’s Day collaboration podcast is so… much… FUN! I was really looking forward to doing it this year and it has not disappointed at all. And even though I know that there is a lot more to go with this current year of 2009, I am already looking forward to our Cupid’s Hunt 2010 collaboration! *smile*

OK, let’s get some RIBS on your plate, shall we? I’m quite sure some of you out there are pretty hungry by now with all of the, um… how shall we say it… “expenditure of energy” that went on last night. *smile* Isn’t great when Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday? You can celebrate Friday night, all day Saturday, all night Saturday night and still make it to church on Sunday. Hmmmmm? Well, some of you anyway. LOL!

Our mix on this day of L-O-V-E is one I am very happy with. Now, I pretty much like all of the mixes posted here on the site, but this one ended up being a very, very nice mix with a smooth flow that I am 100% certain will be the perfect backdrop for your Valentine’s Day celebration. The concept is rather simple, I wanted to take a collection of my favorite Soul/R&B ballads and do a mix, not by the original artists however, but coiver versions by Jazz artists. This way I get to mix my two favorite forms of music: smooth, melodic, soulful slow jams and Jazz. To be honest, I like this mix so much that I’ve been playing it constantly all week long. And now I get to share it with you!

So… let’s get jazzy and romantic all at the same time, shall we, as you enjoy the Cupid’s Hunt 2009 Valentine’s Day extravaganza. We now present to you:

Cupid’s Hunt 2009 - “Have A ‘Jazzy’ Valentine!”

  5. RIBS TPTD: More Ballads, More Jazz… | RIBS: Rhythms In Black Satin on Thu, 19th Feb 2009 10:08 am

    6. [...] As for today, well I’m still in a jazzy/ballads state of mind myself. The Jazz ballads mix, “Have A Jazzy Valentine” I posted for Cupid’s Hunt was very well received and a lot of fun to research and make so I thought that I would continue in that vein this week. On our buffet table you will find tasty morsels from the likes of Kirk Whalum, Grover Washington, Jr., Jack McDuff, Cal Tjader, Noel Pointer and George Howard to name a few. [...]
