RIBS TPTD: Duos & Duets, part 4…

 Hey! Time for another edition of RIBS…

{BIG sigh} Man, what a day I had Thursday going into Friday. I had worked all day Thursday and was just settling down around 6:30 that evening to post this new mix when I got THE CALL. Emergency at work, major crash of the storage area network (SAN) on our LAN. Could I come in to help out? When your boss’ boss calls you personally at home like this what are you gonna say? No? {smile} Anyway, to make a long story short, I got back to the office about 10:30pm and didn’t leave until 9:00am Friday morning. The good news is that we got the system back up and running just in time for the start of the business day and none of our users were affected by any downtime. Needless to say the rest of Friday was spent in a state of slumber. Ahhh, I remember the good ol’ days when I could pull those 24, 30 or 36 hour days with little to no sleep and not think twice about it! But, as they say, that was THEN and this is now. {smile}

So, I said all of that to explain why this particular edition of RIBS is getting posted on Saturday morning instead of Thursday.

Now, let’s get to the music! This week was the last Thursday of the month and that means it’s time for another edition of our Duos & Duets series. This one is part 4. D&D, just in case you are not familiar with it, is our look at musical combinations: 2-person groups (Ashford & Simpson), individual artists that combine for a song or an album (Patti LaBelle & Michael McDonald, “On My Own”), two groups that combine on a song or album (Diana Ross & the Supremes and the Temptations) or even an instrumentalist or group with a featured singer (Grover Washington, Jr. and Patti LaBelle, “The Best Is Yet To Come”). Sometimes I have a RIBS “Co-Chef” help me out with the Duos & Duets mix, but today I’m flying solo. If you want to be an RCC (RIBS Co-Chef) on a future D&D mix, hit me up via email: rhythmsinblacksatin@gmail.com and let’s discuss.

Oh, one more thing I almost forgot to mention. I’ve finally relented and, starting with this mix, I have a vocal intro that I’ll be doing on the mixes on a regular basis. I usually like to let the music speak for itself, but I think these intros could be a lot of fun to do. I certainly had a good time doing this initial one! Isn’t that right, EJ? {LOL! BIG smile}

  4. Hi there! I was wondering if you would consider posting an article of mine. It’s about an up and coming jazz-electropop band about to enter mainstream this year. They are currently working with D.Bascombe, the producer/ mixer who has collaborated with Kylie Minogue, Natalie Imbruglia, Verve, Suede, etc.

    The band plays jazz music but their songs are also classified under electronica. It’s interesting how both jazz and electropop were merged into one by this band!

    Tell me if you’re interested in posting my article so that I can send it to you. Thanks for your time!

    Cheers,
    A.J.
