That's because I was busy rooting for my Uconn Women's Huskies (favorite team)
as they faced Notre Dame and Hanna Hidalgo (favorite player) in a nail-biter. So, the show
has just music, but it's definitely a winner. I was in a Weather Report kind of mood, which you
won't hear me say very often. Their song, The Juggler, is what really got me started with the
initial sound I was looking for. I hope you like the way it turned out.

I started with that one song, but not the Marvin Gaye version. In fact, the Marvin Gaye version is not in the session at all. Tha'ts how you know it's a great song. So many different artists have created their own interpretation. The real funny thing is: I had not planned to make the session come out like it did, but I think you will find that you can go a long with when you begin with a great song. Finally, it's a great question from a song originall written in 1971. We STILL don't know what's going on. Enjoy.]]>

I haven't done a new show in a while. Family matters. It's good to be back. I had some new music I wanted to play, but I also wanted to start off Women's History Month by recognizing some tremendous ladies, both past and present. I also wanted to play this cool track by Bill Evans. So, I chose the word, potpourri, since I seem to have multiple things in mind. The set contains an extended set for some of my favorite ladies. I hope you enjoy it.

This one kid was all the way up to 13 cartons when the teachers came to usher us to our next class. We still moved as a gorup, at this point. Next period was science. Our teacher (so sorry I can't recall his name) had drawn something similar to the image (a round tuit) on the board. He was about to explain it when the top milk-drinker (lucky number 13), began upheaving his milk along with anything else that was in his stomach.

We were sent back to the cafeteria for the remainer of the class while the custodian came in and cleaned up the room. 13 was rushed off to the nurse's office, and we never got back to the Round Tuit. He sort of explained it, but we never got to hear the lesson he had planned for the day.

Of course, I now know that a round tuit is a way of keeping your promises. A cure for procrastination, which is a simple reminder. There are a few things I've been wanting to do. One of them is to describe jazz as... simply music.

In today’s set, we look to the future, by way of the past, I like to remember the great ones, like George Duke, who have moved

The future looks bright for jazz, thanks to a new generation of musicians and composers who boldly lead the way. Welcome to the set. As always, you are welcomed to listen, comment, like, and share.

I can tell you now that the mystery instrument thing didn't happen. My apologies.

Such a cool word. I first heard it used by Roy Ayers. His band was called, Ubiquity, long ago. I owned an album by them, but it was lost in the shuffle. When I looked the word up, I decided it would be a good theme for a set that has no particular direction, kind of like the improv. But, this set, in particular, kind of moves around the various types of jazz, and I like that. So: Ubiquity. As always, you're invited to listen, like, comment, and share. Here's the list:

Bob Baldwin - Welcome to Planet Funky Onion
Kiss the Sky - Welcome to Japan
Maysa - Blue horizon
Randy Muller - Welcome to my life
Euge Groove - Welcome to the journey

You got to pull up, before you blow up.

That’s where we come in. The good news is, It’s manageable. You just got to work on it. Let’s try some

If you grew up listening to Heatwave, you might know Rod Temperton. If you don't know him, you probably listened to his music, if you liked songs like, Always & Forever, Boogie Nights, and The Groove Line. After Heatwave, and due to the loss of their lead singer, Johnny Wilder, Temperton went on to produce music for many of the giants of the industry, including George Benson & Chaka Khan. We're going to hilight his contributions to jazz, in today's set. As always you are invited to listen, like. comment, & share.

Here's the list:

George Benson - Give me the night
Kenya - Can't help it (Sugaboom remix)
Quincy Jones - Razzamatazz/Something special
Bob James - Sign of the times
Pete Escovedo - Can't help it (I wanted to play more versions of this song, but time was limited). Vocals by Sy Smith.
Bob James - That steamin' feeling
Quincy Jones - Turn on the action
Chaka Khan - Masterjam
Anita Baker - Mystery
Heatwave - All you do is dial
George Benson - Star of a story
Heatwave - Sho nuff be love

Initially, the plan was (because the plan always changes: improvisation) to feature just music by Four80 East and Fourplay, but I wanted to make it a blended session (jazz AND soul), so I added the Horny Horns and the Four Tops, to give it some sort of soul presence. The outcome works. I hope you agree. Just FOUR you. As always, you're invited to listen, like, comment, and SHARE. Here's the list:

Fred Wesley & the Horny Horns - Fourplay

The Four Tops - Ain't no woman like the one I got
Four80 East - In the hidden garden
Fourplay - My love's leavin'; (Michael McDonald)

George Benson - Six to four
The Four Tops - Still waters run deep
Fourplay - Between the sheets
Four80 East - Hold a candle

Recently, the passing of Angie Stone, Jerry Butler, and Roy Ayers prompted me to mention their passing as the sense of loss accumulates. A polite way of putting it, when somebody dies, is to refer to them as the "late" Angie Stone, or the "late" Jerry Butler. I also imagined an assembly of other musical greats, like Grover, MJ, Natalie Cole, being there to greet them as they pas into whatever lies ahead. My imagination.

Anyway, that's how I came up with "The Late Show". You're invited to listen, like, comment, and share.

Jazz. Duets. There is a brief soul crossover included. That's becuase I couldn't go through with making a show about duets without including "Fire & Desire".
Mostly it's jazz, though. It's a good set for Valentines Day, but it's also good for any time you need to set a certain mood. I hope you like it. I hope your lover likes it. I hope you share it with your friends. You are, of course, invited to listen, comment, like, as well as sharing the set. That's how the word gets out about the job I'm doing here. I got the list for you right here:

Marilyn Scott & Frank McComb - You don't know what love is
Aretha Franklin & George Benson - Love all the hurt away
Ronnie Laws and sister, Eloise - Love's victory
Jean Carn and Michael Henderson - Valentine love

I was in the mood for some classic soul, and to be compeltely honest: nostalgic. But, I didn't want to play the same old songs. So, I found some tracks that didn't always get a lot of airplay, but they are songs we need to hear; at least once. From the thick and velvety voice of Lou Rawls, to Curtis Mayfleld, a rare selection by Brick, and a song by Freedom that was far more successful for Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five. We need to hear the original, too. So, here it is. A stroll down memory lane from someone who listens to an awful lot of music. You ar einvited to listen, like, comment, and share.

Here's the list:

Lou Rawls - See you wen I get there
Curtis Mayfled - Pusherman (minus the infamous "N-word")
Aretha Franklin - Baby I love you
Brick - Music Matic
Color me Badd - I wanna sex you up (this one DID get lots of airplay)
Younghearts - Dedicate my life to you
Ashling - Liging for the love of you
Isley Brothers - Who's that lady?
Freedom - Dance Singalong (original song that was sampled by Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five)
Craig T. Cooper - Groove line (nice twist on the classic Heatwave joint)
The Jimmy Castor Bunch - Poetntial (what a great word and idea for a song)
Club 1600 - Before I let go]]>

This is not a holiday show, but it is a glimpse into thigs to come.

For me, the holidays begin the day after Halloween, and then we begin the long lead up to Thanksgiving, which is often overlooked. In my format, I like to drop lots of piano in on that day. After Black Friday, the Christmas season begins, and that's when I would begin to play seasonal music. Just a little, at first. Then, more as we get closer to Christmas day. After Christmas, the Best of 2024 marathon, and the New Year Begins with all new music, built around the best of 2024 rotation. For this set, it's just something smooth for the soul, which we could all use, right about now. You are invited, as always to listen, like, comment, and share.

Here's the list:

Azymuth - Sem Destino (without destination)
Farenheit 702 - Two for one
Mindi Abair - Silent Night (just the intro for the Protocol start)
Kim Pensyl - Slap happy
Marc Antoine - Levante (to rise, as in the rising of the sun)
Deaddream - Ecclectic soul (sounds a slittle bit like Roy Ayers)

Bobby Lye - Checkin'
Marilyn Scott - Get home
Mark Barrios - I'm gonna love you just a little more (Barry White)
Cali Mar - If it ain't with you, there's no good love
Dave Koz & Friends - If you really love me
Jef Kearns - Dream State]]>

You can probably find her name listed as jazz. Depends on where you look. She may also be considered soul. At times, maybe even top-40 or pop. That's called versatility. She has been one of the most relied upon artists throughout my time in (and out of) radio. Today, I wanted to set some time aside to honor the Brooklyn born singer of both Cuban and Puerto-Rican descent. As always,m you are invited to listen, like, comment, and share.

Here's the list: All by Angie.

Angel of the night
The only thing I would wish for
Baby I need your love
Under the moon and over the sky
Tropical
I try
Summer days
Sail away
Love changes
Song for a rainy day
I can see it in your eyes
Rainbow inside my heart
You should know by now]]>

When I was a kid, we had this color wheel that stood beside our Christmqas tree. The wheel turned slowly with a light behind it, and the tree would change colors from red, to blue, to green, etc. I was thinking about that an dhow it could be applied to jazz ijn today's set. I will also feature songs by the Yellowjackets as well as four different arrangements of On Green Dolphin Street. That's the plan. I hope you enjoy it.

End Part 1]]>
When I was a kid, we had this color wheel that stood beside our Christmqas tree. The wheel turned slowly with a light behind it, and the tree would change colors from red, to blue, to green, etc. I was thinking about that an dhow it could be applied to jazz ijn today's set. I will also feature songs by the Yellowjackets as well as four different arrangements of On Green Dolphin Street. That's the plan. I hope you enjoy it. As always you're invited to listen, like, share, and comment.

2. Something Special. Hilights of the group, Special EFX, tribute to George Jinda.

No playlist, because I wanted to go ahead and get this posted.

Just a heads up. This has nothing to do with flying. It does, however, feature a new version of a song that was recorded almost 50 years ago, called Flight Time. That's where I get the title. It's a certified classic by the late Donald Byrd, and it's being reinterpreted by Bill McGee and some very special musical friends. The set has some new cuts, and it has a few classics from the archives. You are invited to listen, like, comment, and share.

Here's the list:

Najee - Luna (featuring Mark Harris)
Chico Hamilton - Mysterious Maiden
Incognito - Tell me what to do (v)
Justin Lee Schultz - IOvercome (from one of the best alsums, so far of 2023)
Gumbi Ortiz - In the groove

My love for jazz began with an appreciation for all music. I respected the great musicians even more once I realized the difficulty of playing anything on any instrument. It tkaes years of practice. In my formative years, I listened to groups like Earth, Wind, & Fire, which boasted a world-class bassist (Verdine), stellar keys (Larry Dunn), and the famous horn section which is probably not as famous as it once was. Also, Kool & the Gang, with Kool being the bass player. Steve Arrington, of Slave - another bass master. Bootsy (bass), and Parliament employed the services of Bernie Worrell (keys and synth). I'll add one more: Larry Blackmon, of Cameo. He played drums, bass, and sang lead vocals. My interest in muscianship led me to jazz in the '80's, when groups began to downsize, due to electronics and sampling. It took fewer poeople to make the music, so many of the musicans moved to jazz.

I followed. This session features music by R&B artists who would, on occasion, turn to a jazzy side. It also features a few jazz tracks, because it is, after all, Jazz Infinity. You are invited to listen, comment, like and share.

Here's the list:

Affiliate stations: Notice the time. The set ran a little long, but I did include a version that is just under an hour, in case that makes a difference with your scheduling. This version ran over. 63:37. The other version is just under an hour.

I had two songs that I felt would work well together. That's what I started with. From there, I just kind of improvised. I tried some different sounds and rhythms this week, including some electro-jazz-funk, and quite a few new releases. Overall, I hope you will find that this is something you can just kind of chill out with, no matter what you've got going on. As always, you're invited to listen, like, comment, and share.

Here's the list:

The Rebirth - Leave it all behind
Ishi, Electrophunck - Ride or die (instrumental)
Nikitch & Kuna Maze - Engatinhar feat. João Selva (vocal and instrumental)
Christian De Mesones - You only live twice
Dr. Dave & The Housecall Band - Almost Trinidad
SoCal Sound Collective - Marisa
Euge Groove - The journey ahead
Kayla Waters - Abundance
Walter Chancellor Jr. - Steppin' out
Vibes Alive - Vibrasonic
Nicola Conte - Into the light of love

It's also Juneteenth, Black Music Month, and the beginning of summer. When all that's happening at the same time, what do you do?

You already know that we're keeping it business as usual for Black Music Month, so we'll take in some sunshine and get ready for the summer.

Chelsey Green - Summertime
Martin Trotman - Summertime Summertime

Although Black Music Month is the occasion, you can jam this any time you're in the mood for some vintage Motown. Initially, I was going to feature Michael alone, since I did Prince last timne around. Then, I thought about it. They were all pulled into show business, and I'm not sure any of them had a choice. Don't get me wrong. I know they were highly successful, and earned tons of money, but all that came at a price; especially for Mike. That's why I want to portray them as a family. I think we sometimes lose track of that.

Here's the list:

2300 Jackson Street
Enjoy yourself
Blame it on the boogie
Find me a girl
Let me show you the way to go
Blues away
MJ with Mick Jagger - State of Shock
MJ with Janet Jackson - Scream
Janet Jackson - The knowledge
MJ - Butterflies
MJ - Wanna be starting something
MJ - Money
MJ - A place with no pain

I'm retired, so it's always a long weekend for me. I guess I'm really asking, how many long weekends do YOU get each year? If you're like most people, they're few and far between, and that's why you need to make the most of the opportunity. As I often do, I'm combining themes. It's a chill set. I'm playing about five tracks by one artist, in particular, to hilight a truly outstanding new release. And, in all fairness, I'm dropping in some two's and fews, by artists like Foss Doll, Norman Johnson, Chris "Big Dog" Davis, and the legendary Jazz Crusaders.

That's the short and sweet of it: The Jazz Infinity extended weekend mix.

This is a farewell to Tina Turner, but it only contains one song by her. I decided, instead, to surround her with other great artists who have moved on to the next stage. If you can imagine Tina being greeted by Prince, Michael Jackson, Grover Washington, Jr., Miles Davis, Luther Vandross, Natalie Cole, and Teddy Pendergrass, then you can feel where I'm going. Besides, on your own sendoff, it seems appropriate that you shouldn't have to do all the singing. Others should serenade you. I also prefer to think not in terms of how she's leaving us, but in terms of who she will be joining. She will be received, welcomed, and in very capable hands. I also want to consider everybody who's lost someone, and all those who have moved on. Maybe you can think of who you've lost, as you listen. And, please...

I've been doing Jazz Infinity for a few years now. Before that, the show was called, "Jazzlife".There is nothing wrong with the name, Jazzlife. In fact, I liked it so much that I decided to use it as the name for my personal story, the John Marcus autobiography, which is very much a work in progress. In the meantime, I continued doing the show under the name, Jazz Infinity, Just a little background.

The topic of trombonists came up just recently, and I recalled an episode of Jazzlife called, Game of Bones. At the time, the hit tv series, Game of Thrones was still active. I believe I made a comment, soewhere in there, about how longwe had to wait for the next season to be released. A little play on words, combining two things I enjoyed, as I decided to feature the short list of jazz trombonists I was familiar with. By no means is it an all-inclusive list. It's just those trombonists whose music I have at my disposal. I consider it a beautiful and majestic instrument.

And, there you have it: Game of Bones, from May of 2017.

I've been thinking a lot about us. By us, I mean people. Everybody. All of us. How easily we come up with ways to divide ourselves. Color. Age. Gender. More gender. Religion. Political affiliation. It's a wonder we can even sit on an airplane together. Then again, we seem to have trouble doing that. In this set, just about every song has something to do with being together; getting together; staying together. It's a repeating theme, which might feel, at times, a bit like Deja Vu, in the hopes that it might permeate our thick-headed desire to behave like the Sneeches. If you don't know who that is, Google it.

Teena Marie - Deja Vu (I've been here before)

Al Green - Let's stay together
Sade - Why can't we live together

Here's the list:

Wayman Tisdale - Sunday's best. Nice, lead-in song for the set. Tisdale's music is usually funky. This is not.
Ace Livingston - JBA (Friday Night's Groove): I hope this is a tribute to Jaco Pastorius, because it contains the bass line to River People, a song recorded by Jaco while with Weather Report.
Gerald Veasley - Kyle's Groove: I just like the tone and the feel of this song. I use it a lot. Very soothing.
Brian Bromberg - Continuum: I like this arrangement better than Jaco's original. He had time to polish it up.
Weather Report - Havana: I keep mentioning Jaco. This is him in his prime, with the group: Weather Report.
Stanley Clarke - My greatest hits: Stanley showcases the reportoire, including harmonics. Performed live.
Marcus Miller - Steveland: Probably my favorite song among Marcus's solo work. The brother is awesome!!
Victor Bailey - Feels like a hug: Again, bassplay without all the thumping. It' can be a subtle instrument.
Michael Hedges - Mirage a trois. The only song by a non-bassist, but it contains a fretless solo by Mark Egan.
Jimmy Haslip - Hannah's House: Played straight-up. Some serious phrases for a ballad. Fretless.]]>

This is another one of those sessions where I considered going in a few different directions. One the one hand, I wanted to do a show about New Year's Resolutions, but I also wanted to do a best of 2022 feature. I may do something like that next time around (or in the near future). On the other hand, I had this pretty cool theme, "The Love You Give", and I didn't want to wait another week to run it, so... a little bit of each. It came out pretty nice.

Kathy Kosins & Frank McComb - I gotta pinch myself
- Kathy has been absolutely red hot, as of late. I've fallen in love with her voice. Got to get her in while she's this much on fire.
Al Jarreau - My Old Friend
- Previous song has idential chord progression, making "Old Friend" a required play. It took a while
for me to spot it, but I knew it was there. I wasalso thinking about some old friends and wondering
what they're up to/how doing. Shoutout to Stan, Lance, Tee-Ski. Hope all is well.
Bobby Mathos - The Creator has a Master Plan
- This is another staple song. I try not to run it too hard or often.
Chris Big Dog Davis - Quiet Storm
- It's almost cheating. Chris Big Dog Davis does Quiet Storm...You can't get any more guaranteed
than that.
Norman Brown - It's time for love
- Vintage work from brother Norm. Hard to believe, "Just Chillin' was 20 years back. 2002.
Jody Mayfield - Summer Rain
- This is something relatively new to bring us up from the archives. Nice work by Jody on comp and
delivery. Super smooth.
Jonathan Fritzen - Day After Day
- A. I wanted to change the tempo. B. Looking for some "radio-friendly" "smooth" jazz. That's double
air-quotes.
Jody Mayfield - Doing the Do.
- Didn't realize it, but he's in the lineup twice. He's got some very nice work. This one was stretch-
worthy and transitional.
Rodney Franklin - Man in the Morror/Love Dancin'
- Another song I played in a club dj setting. I was temped to feature Franklin. Maybe later on, with
core artists.
Dexter Wansel - My Vacation
- Good song for the end of summer. I love the argument at the open. Another good tempo-changer.
You can't let all the songs sound the same. This song may have come up in other sets. Need to
watch that.
Walter Chancellor - Steppin' out.
- Funky soul jazz. Good song to set up m y one and only break in the set.
Four80East - Step in it
- Used just for the break/segue.
Tony Windle - Sunday Brunch
- Totally smooth and chill. I'd love to hear something like this in a happy hour set. I'd play it there.
Myster song is Jeff Lorber Fusion - Right There, from Water sign.
- I actually spent a few days locating the song, after hearing it in my head one morning. Not enough
time for the whole song, so I may bring it back at some point in the future.]]>

- Good song for the end of summer. I love the argument at the open. Another good tempo-changer.
You can't let all the songs sound the same. This song may have come up in other sets. Need to
watch that.
Walter Chancellor - Steppin' out.
- Funky soul jazz. Good song to set up m y one and only break in the set.
Four80East - Step in it
- Used just for the break/segue.
Tony Windle - Sunday Brunch
- Totally smooth and chill. I'd love to hear something like this in a happy hour set. I'd play it there.
Myster song is Jeff Lorber Fusion - Right There, from Water sign.
- I actually spent a few days locating the song, after hearing it in my head one morning. Not enough
time for the whole song, so I may bring it back at some point in the future.]]> 7051009 no no Sun, 04 Sep 2022 14:09:59 +0200 2022-09-04T14:09:59+02:00 59:24 https://hearthis.at/john-marcus/alive-at-five-friends-and-family/
I chose to go with a Sister Sledge album cover, but this is not a Sister Sledge feature. They ARE one of the bands I grew up with. So, maybe I'll come back to them, at some point. This session is all about Friends and Family, just as the title suggests. And, it's got the musical lineup to give that name its propers.

Please do me the honor of both LIKE-ing and SHARE-ing.

Breakwater - No Limits
The Isley Brothers - Friends & Family
Deneice Williams - That's What Friends Are For
Whodini - Friends
Sly & the Family Stone - Family Affair
Brand New Heavies - You Got a Friend
Sister Sledge - We are Family
Najee - We're Still Family
Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes (Teddy Pendergrass)
- Where are all my Friends?
Sade - I Will Be Your Friend
Ronnie Laws - Friends & Strangers
Al Jarreau - My Old Friend
Maze (Frankie Beverly) - Family

**I almost misssed a really bad typo. Glad I caught it.
If you come across anything that's out of line, or have questions, you canalways find me on Facebook.
Thanks for listening. John Marcus.]]>

Scatting is when the singer improvises to create melodies and rhythms using their voice as an instrument instead of speaking. Scatting has some origins in Africa, and was made extremely popular by the great Louie Armstrong. Jazz pianist Jelly Roll Morton gives the credit to Joe Sims of Vicksburg, Mississippi, for creating the scat around the turn of the 20th century.

That’s just a small piece of the history. But the plan is to move forward, with a session I’m calling, Scats all, folks. Dedicated to anyone who remembers Buggs Bunny cartoons, growing up, and to those who love jazz; especially if you happen to be both. It is scats all, folks, in this week’s Jazz Infinity.

*Sidenote: I didn’t realize Maysa was in there twice until after I was done. I didn’t plan it that way, but It’s okay. Oddly, neither song was from any of her solo material. There's one with Incognito, and one with Jazmin Ghent (Maysa is jammin' like Jordan, on Summertime).

She sounds great with Incognito, especially on their upbeat jamz. Then again, she sounds good on all their jamz, but do I like to drop these in strategically. You know exactly what sort of nerve it’s going to strike. Besides, seeing her name pop all the time just means she’s a great artist.

How many different kinds of jazz are there? It's hard to keep up. But, I'm wondering: how cool
would it be to drop all the sub-categories and just go with the original name: Jazz? Then, you would
either be jazz...or not. What do you think?

I think there would just be one jazz. Here's the lineup:

ERIC BENET, NEWS FOR YOU - This was the only song that had nothing to do with my theme. I just liked it.enough to use it as the opener.

I like Halloween for a variety of reasons. I like candy. I like scary movies, (or those who attempt to scare). I like the cool weather, and most importantly, I consider it the start of the holiday season. In this special edition, we’re going to give you very little by way of tricks – only treats; lots of candy, and just a touch of the creeps. But, don’t be skerd. I will also let you in on some of my favorite movies for the occasion, along the way.

What do you know about Tom Browne? Funkin’ for Jamaica? Thighs high? Let bygones be bygones? Those are the songs you’re likely to hear on the radio, but I’d like to show you a completely different side of the man with this horn. He happens to be one of my favorite trumpeters, and for the next 90/120 minutes, I will share with you my best examples. It’s living jazz legend, Tom Browne, in this week’s Jazz Infinity, with John Marcus. Enjoy.

If you look into my music collection, you could easily make the case that one of my earliest Jazz influences was David Sanborn. His was one of the first names that came up when I was eager to learn all about the artform (Jazz). Sanborn led to Marcus Miller. He led to Bob James, and James seemed to be connected to them all. But, it’s one story at a time, and today it’s sax-master, David Sanborn, our
Living jazz legend, in this week’s Jazz Infinity.

This was from my Friday afternoon set, Alive at Five.

If a picture speaks a thousand words, which one do I choose? Sexy Chaka? Chaka with a mic? Young Chaka? Mature Chaka? I apologize in advance, because I kind of set you up with the question. I'll call upon my favorite line from the Exorcist, once again. "There is just one" Chaka, and she is the most dynamic vocalist, pound for pound, in the biz, Of course, that's just my opinion, and the answer to the question, "Who could I listen to for an hour (or more) and not grow tired after a few songs?" if I could choose just one, you have my answer. Thank goodness, I don't have to. As it turns out, I was in the mood for some Chaka. I hope you are, too.

Now, back to the photo. I chose one where she's smiling and hopefully enjoying life.

Next, a jazz segue with Walter Beasley, Marqueal Jordan, and Eric Roberson/Will Downing.
After that, a brief excursion into Motown, taking the smooth jazz route: Brenda Russell, Bob James, and Tony Remy.
We then change it up, with Lindsey Webster and David Dyson, and something Universal from Pleasure.

We maintain the tempo into the stretch with the Jazz Liberatorz, Terrace Martin, and the late George Howard, followed by Michael Franks Tri-fecta, and close the session out with Caribbean Nights, from the "master collaborater".

**Gil-Scott Heron, Is it Jazz?**

That’s a hell of a question, from Gil-Scott Heron. Is that jazz? A lot of words get tossed around. Love. Friends. Genius. Soul. Maybe it’s the way they roll off the tongue, but some words can be used so much that they lose their meaning. So, what is jazz? In today’s set, which I’m calling, “Jazz Expressions”, I’ll see if I can get you some clarity. It’s also the name of the EP Release by Lydia Salet Dudley. Jazz Expressions. Here’s Ramsey Lewis. Love Notes.

**Ramsey Lewis, Love Notes.
Mike Phillips, Setembro.
Lydia Salet Dudley, Misty**

From her recent EP Release, Jazz Expressions, that’s Ms. Lydia Salet Dudley and Misty. A song that I always dedicate to Evelyn. If you are a serious movie buffs will connect on that. Our theme for today: Jazz Expressions. Is it Jazz? Here’s something from guitarist, Chuck Loeb, a song that was recently stuck in my head. I woke up hearing it, and now I pass it on to you. That’s appreciation. Check it out.

**Chuck Loeb, Appreciation
Marilyn Scott, Sadness
Dr. Lonnie Smith, Dapper Dan**

Dr. Lonnie Smith, not to be confused with Lonnie-Liston Smith. Two different jazz cats, but each unique in their own regard. The good doctor plays a mean Hammond B., an instrument you don’t hear every day. So, let’s make it a three-peat, with the great Charles Earland, and Joey De Francesco. This is called, New Blues. Thanks for checking us out. Jazz Infinity, with John Marcus.

**Joey DeFrancesco, New Blues
Charles Earland, The Creation
Lydia Salet Dudley, Someday we'll all be free**

From the album, Jazz Expressions, borrowed for today’s theme, once again..that’s Lydia Salet Dudley. Someday we’ll all be free. As we’ve demonstrated, there are certain elements that must be present in order for there to be jazz. Creativity. Originality. Highly skilled musicianship. Interaction, and sometimes, I just want to hear a nice groove… just don’t leave out the jazz. Time to hit the stretch. Here’s Norman Brown, from his latest: Heart to heart. I miss your groove.

**Norman Brown, I miss your groove
Lin Rountree, Pass the groove
Billy Cobham, Okky Dokky
Kem, Lie to me**

That’s Kem Owens, born in Nashville. Raised in Detroit. Of course, we know him as Kem, with an E. He’s been teasing us with this new album, yet to be released. Only a couple of singles. You just heard the most recent. Billy Cobham, Lin Rountree, and Norman Brown all preceded. As you can see, jazz can take on many forms, deliver many sounds. Smooth is just one of them. Keep that in mind as we continue with Herb
Alpert, Alvin Davis, Antonio Jackson, and Lynne Fiddmont.

**Antonio Jackson,, The Wave
Herb Alpert, Fantasy Island
L.A. Jazz Syndicate (featuring Lynne Fiddmont), Love Season
Alvin Davis, A blessing**

A sax player you don’t often hear in the Smooth Jazz universe. Alvin Davis. LA Jazz Syndicate, with Lynne Fiddmont just before. She’s another artist who is well-known, but not as well as (I think) she deserves. I like what we’re doing. Let’s add some Nick Colionne, and keep it movin’. Thanks again for listening to Jazz Infinity. I’m John Marcus.

**Nick Colionne, Closer
Take 6, Don’t Know Why
The Sahara Club, Feel (radio edit)
Azymuth, Em Marica**

So, what is jazz? To be honest, it’s in the minds of the beholder. The more you listen and hear, the more you’ll understand. And then, before very long at all…you’ll know it’s jazz the moment you hear it. And, anything else…is something else. I hope we’ve struck the proper chord, in that regard. My name is John Marcus. Thank you for joining me for another episode of jazz Infinity. Nexst time out, it’s keys like these, and the final session of our 12 weeks of summer. I’m going to leave you with a healthy dose of harmony, from Atjazz. Take care. Stay smooth.

There's no telling how long the Corona virus will be with us. But we do know that gathering in large numbers is out of the question, at least for the time being. That includes things like going to a concert. But, there's no reason we can't bring the stage to you.

So, here’s music from Earth Wind & fire, David Sanborn, Spyro-Gyra, Al Jarreau, Weather Report (featuring Jaco Pastorius), Stanley Clarke, Bill Summer & Summer’s Heat, Chaka Khan, Grover, Ronnie Laws, Rachelle Ferrelle, Miles Davis, the GRP All-Stars, Marcus Johnson, and the Jazz Crusaders to give you that next best feeling to being there. When you hear the crowd get loud, it's okay if you want to jump up out of your seat. Turn up the sound and enjoy.]]>
