In The Mix With Reggie Thejazzman

Every once in a while, I just want to do something different and completely out of the box. A totally different sound or style of music does just the trick, thus this mix of electro swing. It's just fun music. I remember it wasn't too long ago that the craze was sweeping the land. Dance studios were making money teaching folks how to groove to this and then the craze just stopped suddenly, I mean, Crashed.....HARD!Well, let's Throw It Back on THROWBACK THURSDAY!ENJOY!

.....and fancy free!The birds are singing, there's beautiful sunshine, warm temps and the beginning of summer. Schools out and vacation is in.Need I say more!It's the sound of summer.ENJOY!!

Feelin' giddy, woke up with energy but not a whole lot of time. I had started this mix some time ago but why not kick it out for Throwback Thursday...ENJOY everybody!!

it gives me great pleasure to remember and present this mix show to the world. Marvin Gaye has influenced so many through his music and his life, which wasn't always smooth. Oh the man had troubles, fought drug addiction, finanacial and relationship issues but somehow, through it all he retained his star status and we loved him.

I cooked this mix up while preparing breakfast and after listening to it all the way through, making a few adjustments here and there, I thought I'd make this one available.

I finally set some time to get in on the action. THROWBACK THURSDAY. It was fun going through the collection because it always turns into a walk down memory lane. The songs are the things that memories are made of, and fond ones at that. I found myself reminiscing about my adolescent years, the dance styles, the fashions and trends, my friends and of course the music. I couldn't help it. Those were some of the best times in life. Legendary DJ's Frankie Crocker and Vaughn Harper of WBLS 107.5fm in NYC, you'll never be forgotten! Pamela Bussey (WNYE 91.5fm, NYC) thanks for the extra attention and the airtime. I'm blessed to have grown up in that time with that quality of music lyrics and music. It's no wonder that the music of the 70's is described as timeless and classic. The songs on this mix are some of my favs and woven in for flavor are a few updated versions of the classics. If you're GROWN AND SEXY, or if you love old school, this is right in the pocket. I think you'll feel me on this mix. OL SKOOL....th

I believe in the power of music. When we take the time to listen, and I mean REALLY listen, notes transform themselves and our devoted attention taps into that power. Now comes, Fade To Black II, a soothing, relaxing musical experience. I chose not to talk, other than the intro. For this mix, I'd rather let the music speak uninterrupted.

I recently found this mix in my catalog. This is something I put together quite a few years ago for a show honoring the top 10 most influential African Americans of the 20th century. I didn't get to meet Maya Angelou at that event in NYC but I heard she liked the mix. Poet, teacher and activist, Maya Angelou's voice is powerful and precise, full of years of education and wisdom. As simple as this project seemed to be it was somewhat overwhelming and quite intimidating but I think the music compliments the poet and her poetry perfectly.

Some ol skool R&B to kick it up with the morning coffee!! ENJOY!!

I recorded this podcast just after I'd just come off of an interview with Sheldon Reynolds so who wouldn't be just besides themselves after chatting with a member of EWF, huh? We burned up the phone line for a few hours, a few times. Definitely makes this show that much more special. Who loves EWF?

Peace. Calm. Serenity. It's time, your time. Time to relax, release and let it go. Fade to black....

I know this is a departure from th smooth jazz you're used to seeing but truth be told, I have soft spot for old school, in particular, ol' skool slow jams. Actually it's probably more like an obsession. The lyrics, that sound.....they just don't make em like that anymore.Here's a walk down memory lane (Minnie Riperton sung about that). I've been reflecting on my musical journey these last few days and these songs are part of my roots. It's called old school now but I was there when....The first 45 rpm I ever purchased was Otis Redding's "Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay" back in '69 and to this day, I'm still adding to my oldies collection. I miss those album covers, the warm sound of vinyl and all those groups that started with 'The'. Seems like just about all of them did! (there's a few notables in the playlist). GROUPS....does anybody sing together like that anymore??If you're like me, you'll FEEL this and enjoy this mix set. Big shout to my friend, legendary slow jam DJ, Kevin 'SlowJammin' James. ENJOY T

Crazy what you can do on a 1/2 of a nights' sleep, waking up at 3:30 am. You never know when the creative juices are going to flow!I want to make this clear, this is TWO completely separate songs. No, really it is!Some of you are saying my mixes are too seamless and you can't tell its a mix/mashup (that's the whole point...lol!!)Here's The breakdown: All the flute parts you hear throughout the mix are from Althea Rene's tune "FM 1960", off of her brand new smokin' hot CD 'In The Flow'. Althea's flute fits in perfectly with the slammin' bassline and the fierce groove of Sister Sledges 'Thinking Of You' (Dimitri Of Paris Remix). This is a straight up ol skool party jam, almost has a house feel to it. Initially you'll hear me blend Althea in to compliment Sister Sledges vocals, listen closely as Althea totally rips it up on flute. Big shout to Dimitri from Paris for reworking the Sister Sledge tune. Jazz folks, Althea Rene's "in The Flow" CD is a must have! Now, this takes me back to my roots. THIS is how I used

On Part 2 of the show, you'll find more of Luther's greatest hits. I also included two of my mashups to make the show more unique. Luther Vandross....marvelous and timeless...ENJOY!!Playlist includes:IntroHere And Now Luther VandrossHow Deep Is Your Love Luther VandrossHere And Now Luther VandrossHow Deep Is Your Love Luther VandrossDance With My Father Luther VandrossA House Is Not A Home (Reggie TheJazzman's Mashup) Luther Vandross and Nelson RangellEndless Love Luther Vandross feat.

April 20th 1951 Luther Vandross came into the world. This man found his purpose and aren't we thankful and grateful he did! LUTHER WAS BORN TO SING! I, like many, was saddened by his death. I grew up with Luther. From the first time I heard his voice (on Changes' A Lover's Holiday, The Glow Of Love and Searching) I was hooked. But when he dropped the ballads?? I was hooked for life. Luther left us on July 1st 2005. Today, we celebrate his music, his life and his legacy. This show includes: Creepin' Bob JamesSuperstar/Until You Come Back To Me Luther VandrossForever, For Always, For Love Luther VandrossEvergreen Luther VandrossLove Won't Let Me Wait Luther VandrossThe Closer I Get To You Luther VandrossIf This World Were Mine Luther Vandross feat.

The thing about old school slow jams is they never get old and you never tire of hearing them. And right along side the music are those precious memories. Think back to the first time you encountered the original versions of these tunes. This show and these artists put a fresh spin on the classics.Wishing On A Star JaaredInseparable Kim WatersLove Tko Eric DariusClose The Door Funkee BoyJust the Way You Are Justin YoungBetcha By Golly Wow Joe CarmoucheMe & Mrs Jones Ed CalleLove Ballad Terence YoungForever, For Always, For Love Lalah HathawaySend For Me Streetwize fea.
