Wow, here we are at the end of April already. This month sure went fast. Well, that means that today the RIBS kitchen is serving up the last of it’s ‘Sax Appeal’ entrees that we’ve been cooking up all month long. We hope that you have enjoyed this look at the many different players of this instrument both past and present.

Since most of the sax-a-teers we’ve heard from this month have been culled from the 50s, 60s and 70s, I thought this time around I’d feature some of the "newer" sax players on the scene today. That means that today’s mix will feature:

Eric Marienthal
George Howard
Dave Koz
Kirk Whalum
Kim Waters
Najee
Pamela Williams
Euge Groove
Richard Elliot
Kenny G
Ronnie Laws
Maceo Parker

I have to admit, I’ve really enjoyed focusing on a particular instrument like this and exploring the various artists who play it. I think there will be more explorations like this in the months ahead here on RIBS.

OK! Another round of "great sax" for ya to close out ‘Sax Appeal’ month as we present to you…

RIBS TPTD: More Ballads, More Jazz…

Good morning, or afternoon, or evening, awww forget about it… how the hell are ya?! *smile*

Whew! We had another great Cupid’s Hunt Podcast Event this past weekend! Like to send out a big “THANK YOU!” to all of the podcasters that participated and to all of the readers/listeners who stopped by some or all of the sites to check out the music. In case you missed it, you can check out the “Cupid’s Hunt 2009… Let’s Get It On!” post where you will find the links (21 in total!) to all of the mixes.

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.

A little more on the mid-to-uptempo side (mostly) than “Jazzy Valentine”, this mix is still a very smooth listen and a perfect complement to almost activity you care to undertake. So let’s kick back, relax and stay in a “jazzy” frame of mind as we present to you this week:
