Continuum – A Journey Through Jazz
Episode 74: To You, With Love
Welcome to another episode of Continuum – A Journey Through Jazz . . . and on this leg of the journey – it’s all about Valentine’s Day.
I haven’t always been one to celebrate due to years of romantic heartbreak and lonely despair . . . but things changed 7 years ago when I got married. We are celebrating our anniversary this coming weekend – and thus, this show is a Valentine’s card as well as an anniversary present for my lovely wife . . . and of course, for you too! Please feel free to share it with someone you love! I hear it goes well with flowers and chocolate.
In fact, this show is kind of like a box of chocolates – only without the strange pieces no one wants. This is prime assortment including classic jazz from Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Peggy Lee . . . contemporary jazz from Anita Baker, George Benson & Basia . . . and your soulful needs shall also be sated with some Donny Hathaway, Natalie Cole & Peabo Bryson, John Stoddart and Stevie Wonder . . . and for lagniappe, some Brand New Heavies.
So, I’m pretty sure if you play this for someone that they will fall in love with you. I can’t promise that of course, but it’s worth a try.
I’d also love to receive a Valentine’s email from you in my inbox for Scott@SoulandJazz.com – or maybe you can like me on Facebook, or tweet me on Twitter. Nothing serious, of course, just casual tweeting.
Agape ya’ll,
J. Scott Fugate, ‘The Jazz Evangelist’
