Crusaders/,Joe Sample sold massive buttloads of records!

Or as the first indication that the difference between listening functionality and dancing/social-functionalitywas reaching a point of no return

I can like Incognito, and have definitely enjoyed Bluey's remixesm but I've never really thought of them as "jazz". That's just good pop music, full of hooks and Easter eggs , and yes, there were dance clubs in 1975 (and later) where this was the groove, and people called it "jazz" . But you know..

Before there was "smooth jazz" there was "quiet storm", which was to me a genre that was created (initially) after the music had happened rather than vice-versa. Who among us does not like us some prime Anita Baker? Or...

Somebody get Ella an Anacin!

I don't think we all do agree on the roots and therefore not the fruits. Hell, I don't think there's agreement on why it was popular, because there was not a single "type" of fan, just as there was not one single type of product

Yes it does.

There's at least a week or two or more of good lessons in connecting dots from something like this: But this is about sounds (plurals) not reading words

All of this is (even more) academic masturbation Learning about sound just by reading about it? Seriously? That's not teaching, that's preaching. And of course, here comes the collection plate We've had harm enough already.

Teach people to play.

A book?
