Lately I've heard some jazzy-sounding jingles playing in between songs on SanFranSmoothJazz. Were they done by Smooth Jazz musicians? (Lois - Brookfield, Ill.)
You could say that. They were composed and produced by a group called The Inline Six, a talented Chicago-based ensemble. Led by Jay Martini and Mitch Germaine, The Inline Six is as much at home creating jingles for SanFranSmoothJazz as they are playing impassioned renditions of smooth and "rough" jazz numbers, R&B, rock and blues.
Is the Dave Koz and Friends Smooth Jazz Christmas concert all Christmas music? (Susan - Chicago, Ill.)
No. It's about 60% Christmas classics (along with Dave's spirited Hanukkah song) and 40% non-holiday tunes. The non-holiday material is made up of the Smooth Jazz hits by the individual performers in the band (Rick Braun, Peter White, David Benoit and Brenda Russell). Dave and the band are able to transition seamlessly from Christmas songs to non-Christmas songs and back in a show that's festive and fun from beginning to end.
The tour begins the day after Thanksgiving and includes 21 performances around the country. To me, this is the one Smooth Jazz concert that's an automatic. Get your tickets for their December 11 performance at the Nob Hill Masonic Auditorium, and enjoy a dose of holiday spirit that'll take you right through the New Year.
