Introducing the latest mix of retro smooth jazz & fusion from 1982-1992. This four hour playlist highlights some of my favorite cuts from the past, all from my archive of CDs & LPs. To me, this "era" was the peak for jazz/fusion music, later coined "smooth jazz", although to me it is much more than that blanket term. Once synthesizers hit the scene in the late '70s-early '80s, and other styles (funk, rock, R&B, etc) began fusing with traditional jazz styles, what was born was a new form of accessible yet progressive, vivid and contemporary sound that so many inspired artists evolved during that time of musical prosperity and creativity. I hope you enjoy this playlist of some of the best-of-the-best from the golden era!
