 April 19, 2013 - Boney James is again the most talked about artist on Smooth Jazz Now. His hit 'Batucada' was the most requested tune on our station for the last two weeks. "You have to love a song with this type of staying power," says John Beaudin, Program Director of Smooth Jazz Now.

 April 10, 2013 – The hottest new song on the Smooth Jazz Now TOP 50 chart last week was Andy Snitzer's 'Candy' entering at an impressive #5. The tune comes from, 'The Rhythm,' Snitzer's 3rd Native Language album and his 8th overall. The label calls the single “sweet funk/pop” which it is indeed. “I just love this song,” says John Beaudin Program Director of Smooth Jazz Now. “Andy is one of my favorite sax player's and also I really love his work with Paul Simon and the Rolling Stones,” adds Beaudin.
“Throughout my career, I’ve had the distinct privilege to make great music with wonderful people who happen to be among the most popular, talented musicians and artists in the world,” says Snitzer. “All of them have been influential in the evolution of my solo career, and it’s very gratifying to realize how much I have grown as a musician and artist over the past 20 years. I like my early solo recordings but they were mostly a relative hodgepodge combination of a lot of things; they didn’t necessarily articulate a distinct stylistic position. Eventually I figured out that making an album was not primarily about being a badass in ten different ways. It’s primarily about setting a compelling mood, taking an artistic position that your listener can sense and identify with. That’s what drove me to create Traveler, and I’m excited that The Rhythm is another step in that direction.” - MORE

 February 28, 2013 – Bruce Mitchell came out of the gate as a Narada artist back in 1987. That was when New Age was fairly new and exciting. Since then many of those big labels have been sold or, simply, folded but New Age is far from deceased. Just like the related genre of Smooth Jazz most of the terrestrial radio stations have flipped formats only to be reborn on internet radio. I played Mitchell's two Narada albums on Terrestrial radio in the late 80's and now he's found a home on our very own New-Age/Smooth Jazz combo station WhatsInvisible.com.
On this follow up to 2009's 'New Earth Goddess' Mitchell proves why he's a deserving artist that has survived what could have been an Armageddon of a format. In fact, it's because of acts like him that this genre is still relevant. Mitchell is a spiritual musician in every sense of the word. His music will not only make ones mood climb but his intent is clearly to make our experience better.
The opening track 'Opus of Compassion' is a soft whisper of a song. Treading lightly with a unstrained tone of positivity. It's a gorgeous piece.
The title track follows the same tip-toe angelic whimsical feel. It's one of those gentle songs to encourage your shoulders to lower and unwind.
'Aeracura' is an Enya-like little ditty. We've all heard of those great driving tunes, well, this is the opposite. Perfect for stressful moments or mediation.
'Water Spirit' is another great visit to that supportive spiritual well. It's another reminder of the intent of the project.
As in previous CD's Ron Korb handles bass, flute and whistle while Mitchell's piano playing serves as the projects main force. These two have tapped into an incredible synchronistic vibe. - by John Beaudin
