Well. Apparently over the years many Weather Channel fans got all jazzed-up about these musical selections, phoning and emailing the station to find out more about the specific artists and song titles. And so the station began to make their playlist available to these fans, and the next thing you know musicians are sending their recordings to the Weather Channel’s musical director, and the next thing you know—well, guess.
Right. The Weather Channel has released a soundtrack CD: "The Weather Channel Presents: The Best of Smooth Jazz." The 12-song collection is comprised of the channel’s most requested tunes, featuring artists such as Chick Corea, Jeff Lorber, Dave Koz and Najee.
And wouldn’t you know—the Weather Channel’s CD is already No. 2 on Billboard magazine's contemporary jazz chart. Bossy isn’t sure if this is the most depressing thing to ever happen to jazz, or the most convenient. Either way, the selections are mostly sunny with a light dusting of soprano sax. Think: Kenny G.
You’d probably be better off buying Billboard magazine's No. 1 contemporary jazz CD: Herbie Han’s River, The Joni Letters. And Bossy thinks you’d definitely be better off purchasing one of the many jazzy collections sold at that other very famous music destination: Starbucks. But what does Bossy know? She’s not even sure if she should wear her mittens.
