Description:

In 2007, Rendezvous Entertainment, the popular indie label founded by sax superstar Dave Koz and industry vets Hyman Katz and Frank Cody, released two wonderful compilation discs to celebrate two exciting events: its five year anniversary and, perhaps more importantly, its success as the label with the number one market share in smooth jazz radio. While Smooth Ones focused on chart-topping hits by Rendezvous artists and other genre stars, Late Night Rendezvous was dedicated to a batch of ten "under the radar" tracks from the company`s diverse roster of smooth jazz and chill artists. Sometimes the two subgenres intersect, as on guitarist Marc Antoine`s sultry and hypnotic "Gotham" and Praful`s mystical "We Live On." Most tracks are specifically jazz or chill, ranging from Camiel`s soothing and ambient "You Can Stay" to the vocal on Kyle Eastwood`s pop-jazz driven "Leave It" and Wayman Tisdale`s thoughtful and romantic "Shape of Your Heart." Other great artists included on this perfect late night soundtrack are Brian Simpson, Michael Lington, the Philippe Saisse Trio and -- last but not least -- the masterful chill producers Adani & Wolf. For fans who wanted to understand the cool connections between smooth jazz and chill in the early 2000s, this disc is the ultimate primer. ~ Jonathan Widran
