I was proud to produce all of these albums with my good friend and amazing musician Ricky Keller. As the producer of the Atlanta Jazz Festival and the Montreux Atlanta Jazz Festival, i came up with the idea of creating a record label dedicated to our local Atlanta musicians. Russ had created Jazz Flavours at the time, and he was instrumental in the success of these albums and the careers of many musicians by promoting this music on his show. Now 20+ year New Yorkers, Russ and I remain close friends to this day, and still have fond memories of these halcyon days in Atlanta. Mark Johnson
Wow thanks for sharing the info! I grew up listening to Jazz Flavours from 1978 on to 1989
Thanks for sharing Mark, these are awesome productions also the artwork is amazing! Would love to get these on vinyl but in Europe are hard to find. Greeting from Belgium!
Russ Davis CD101.9 NYC... the best jazz radio station ever created. Listened for the first time on trip to NYC on Christmas 1988 . I would tape as many hours as i could with TDKS SA and bringing it back home and then buy the music on Tower records. Those were the days. Cds were becoming much more popular those years.
Is there any place we can buy these albums, or pay for mp3s? I've just stumbled onto these, and I'm really enjoying them.
I'm a simple person. I see album covers with cats and the word "jazz" I click. 😄
Anybody who obsessively watched the Weather Channel in 1989 will love this. Yes, I love this.
Jazz fusion , meaning 80s jazz
7:00 pm each weekday night in Atlanta, 94Q flipped from recent pop to jazz flavors. . ."Welcome to Jazz Flavors"
Any albums with cats on the cover are bound to be amazing.
Oh My God Mr. Fresh is playing JAZZ
So happy to run across this today! I Owned both of these (wore them out) , and was so happy to hear Scratching the Surface and Don’t You Think It’s Time again. Jazz Flavours on Sunday evenings were the way to make bill paying palatable.
oh my godddd.... what a killer playlist... this music will be never compared with the "smooth jazz" format.... Thanks for putting these playlists...
I too, listened to Jazz Flavours in the 80's. In fact, the show exposed me to Contemporary Jazz and Instrumental music tracks and led to my being a huge fan of the genre attending many concerts and actually getting involved in the local Jazz scene on the promotions and representation side with then Atlanta local acts Nancee Kahler and Face Up while completing a bachelor's degree in Commercial Music Business from GA State University. Those were the days!
Jazz Flavours was about the only thing I listened to at night when I was in high school between 82 and 86. (I guarantee you I was the only one on our basketball bus on the way back to Douglas County listening to it on my AM/FM/Cassette Walkman! :D ) Still some of my greatest formative memories! Thank you, 94Q!
thank you for being so thorough by placing artists & time stamps.😊
Buddy Causey - Happy Together is one of my all-time favorites...!
Breathtakingly. I'll love their talents. My all-time favorite must be Tom Grose and the Varsity.
Well, you can still find their 'She Wants Your Money' album from '88 on CD, I believe. I have the vinyl that I got way back at Turtles Records'n'Tapes around '86-7. I saw these guys perform live at the Atlanta Jazz Festival in Chastain park alongside Bob James and the Yellowjackets, as well as a local restraunt/venue Ray's On The River
@@KJCMuzique Please upload Best of 94Q Jazz Flavours Volumes III and IV. I'm heard Hat Dance by RSVP, Secret Lover by Angela Motter, Randy Honea's 88.
@@ShawnWilliams1987 Ok, I will. It's about time I did so anyway, you cannot find these 'Best Of 94Q' albums anywhere today!
@@KJCMuzique Saw them many times at Timothy John's also!
Most of these songs were not released on solo albums. The only exceptions are Tom Grose & The Varsity, who released both tracks on their ’88 LP ‘She Wants Your Money’, and Randy Honea, who released his solo record ‘Still Life’ in 1986, and Glenn Wisenbaker's 'Ivory Fire' 1983. All of these rare albums I also have on LP.
Also I've made a Playlist of you for your favorite 80's & 90's different jazz genres on my Spotify Playlist, since I've always been supporting your channel a lot: open.spotify.com/playlist/3Rmx4kmobUVG1HFxf6kGLl
@@AlanFernandoGamino Thanks, that's a nice playlist you made, lots of favorites, and thanks for adding my own music in there! Thanks for your support and comments :)
@@KJCMuzique Yup! I''m making a [1980 - 96] music jazz genres of this classic favorites to make my own radio station in the future's.
Who's the very first track? I remember hearing this when I was in H.S.! This piece is dope! 🔥🔥🔥
@@roderickbaker7139 That is RSVP "Strange Pavement", I put the tracklists with time stamps in the description :)
I LOVE all the 94Q Jazz Flavours albums. I worked at a Turtle's Records in the late 80's and we had these on in-store rotation quite a bit.....brings back a lot of memories from that time. Also, I recently managed to score CD copies of all of these on Ebay, and have been playing them constantly since I got them.
How cool, that is where I got these LPs, as well as a good majority of music I heard on Russ Davis' Jazz Flavors show back then.
I am trying to find Cheryl Wilson's vocal You Move Me. That was nothing short of amazing.
Here’s the album:

Very underrated YT channel. Thank you for sharing and I hope you become a household name on the Internet :D!
#16 The "B" Team has my vote for the best track!
I believe most would agree! That track and "Chanson" and "Dreaming Out Loud" are my favorites. It took me 36 years to find Dreaming Out Loud by Steve Hulse, that track was not included on the CD version I had before I got the LPs
It's Reminds Me Of Limelight Atlanta Georgia Nightclub From The 80s And Early 90s 1980 To 1993 ☺😎
Killer playlist
1:11:32 i can't get enough of the melody on the chorus!!! i especially like how the song leans hard into the first note on the melody on every chorus. it is as if this song knows it is as good as it is. “Scratching The Surface” is one of best Jazz songs i've ever heard.
I know, that is a rare classic, was played constantly on 94Q in 1986. It's a shame keyboardist Oliver Wells, bassist Ricky Keller and guitarist Pat Buchanan didn't put out an album together as 'The B Team'
that is a shame. if this song is any indication, those two were "lightning in a bottle". i always wondered what else this group could have composed had they recorded more music.
Bravo bravo bravo........ ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Brilliant also unique albums to hear such amazing tracks of 1986.
love this....
Já faz mais de meses que ouço isso sem parar ! Saudações de recife, Brasil
Another amazing post, thank you 🙏 the first track, I have to find more material of theirs! Also, the intro is definitely very similar to The Rippingtons ‘Love Notes’ track on the verses. The second track has the most sublime arrangement of chords for a jazz-pop record, and the vocals are perfect, I absolutely loved these first two tracks. The rest was an intriguing listen, the third track I haven’t stopped playing for a week or so 😄😎💥
94QFm ...I was young ..I was Hot ..I was Feeling the groove on 94Q
The album's art itself is worth listening but the sound is also marvelous.
Totally unknown to me, thank you very much, this playlist is very very good... ¡Que nivel, cremita!
DAmn that Tom Grose put it out of your mind junt really hit me hard 😢 gonna have to give this a re listen when I’m not busy occupied with work to find the other hidden dartz on this compilation
this album is so awesome....thank you so much for sharing this beautiful music to us...
stay safe and stay healthy for everyone.....
dreaming out loud is amazing!
I wish roller rink play songs like this
amazing
Sick! Was hoping you'd upload these full albums eventually!
I've had "Gotta Take a Chance" on repeat since yesterday when I found this video. Blew out the shitty 20 year old foam surrounds in my JBL speakers. Any chance there's a FLAC rip of the CD version floating around anywhere? Would love to have a higher quality version of it. Thanks for uploading, KJC!
Most of my LPs are in better shape than these here, but I have the cd version of these two albums as well. And to my ears, the LP versions have more of the lower and mid frequencies which seem muffled and flat on the CD version
There’s a track by the Icelandic jazz-funk band Mezzoforte called ‘This is the Night’ and the chorus is similar sounding to ‘Gotta Take a Chance’; it’s not as good but it definitely reminded me of it when I heard this, you may like it, well worth checking out! The extended version is on TH-cam 😎👍
@@LeeTavMusic funky song. Happy Hour by Mezzoforte is another one by them I Iike. Thanks for the recommendation!
💙💚💛🧡❤️💝
Where can I find more of the first band, RSVP? More generally, where can I find Fusion just like the first track? High energy & upbeat!
They actually only did the three tunes on these albums, they never put out any solo albums unfortunately...wish they had as they killed it back then. They did just local gigs mostly
