Smooth Jamz: The Definitive Collection

OK GUYZ...

so if you've been paying attention to the blog for the past year or so, you'll know I've kept a very loose installment entitled "Smooth Jamz," where I post some mp3s or youtubes of some of my favorite songs which I consider to be "smooth jamz." I consider smooth jamzs to be a combination of several sub-genres, mostly stemming from 70s/80s AM pop, yacht rock, smooth r&b, and jazz/fusion.

I'm a huge fan of this music & therefore typically prone to buying lots of records that fall into the genre. I recently decided to scour my vinyl collection for some of the smoothest tracks I own and then compile them all into one epic collection, one which I feel fully reflects & encompasses the genre. I also tried to stray away from the popular stuff that some of you have already heard, so hopefully this will be an ear opening adventure for y'all.

I also personally love to sample this stuff in my own productions, so I fully support people sampling these songs & creating their own smooth jam beats - and if anyone wants to send me something you've created using samples from one or more of the tracks, I'll definitely post it up here on da blog.

So without further adieu, please download & enjoy "Smooth Jamz: The Definitive Collection."
