Ultimate 80s Smooth Jazz/Fusion MIX!!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มิ.ย. 2020
- Here is the biggest 80s jazz fusion compilation yet! My last two mixes were big hits, but have become ad-ridden. This mix is a collection of some of the rarest 'lost gems' of the 80s-early 90s contemporary jazz realm, all selected from my large collection of LPs, cassetts and CDs. A lot of these songs are unheard & have been forgotten about by most, and have never been heard online. Many of the albums featured in this ultimate mix I've shared at some point on my channel. I wanted to recreate the feel of tuning into 94Q Jazz Flavours, WNUA, The Wave, KJZZ stations back in the 80s-early 90s era!
So...enjoy a non-stop 7-hour playlist of some of KJC's choice selections, and maybe a martini or two!!
I host two smooth jazz radio shows on WQNA, in Springfield, Illinois, and have uploaded airchecks from my shows here:

THANK U SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!!
1 of my fondest memory is my BEAUTIFUL QUEEN mommy,J❤B❤ on her 30th birthday ,she had a full live jazz band in our living room upstate New York 💖 I said to her mommy u old...eating those words now♡I still remember her in full gear fencing gracefully in our home my beloved MOTHER 1938~2018❤❤❤ LOVE &MISS U LADY◇ C U WHEN I C U ❤ 💙 💖
Right now, it's your local forecast on The Weather Channel
Thanks so much for sharing this most excellent collection! I remember some of these from the late 80s on WQCD "CD101.9" in NYC. Thanks for taking me back to age 24 for a couple hours!
Ah yes, CD 101.9 originally started up by Russ Davis from down my way in Atlanta where he hired Jazz Flavors from 1978-1988. That’s where I heard a lot of this music back then
Karimata from Indonesia 💙🎵
I loved JAZZ song.
Karimata from Indonesia 🥰😍
I like to thank you KJC for this amazing collection,it is a blessing from God....
Finally, the best parts of the 80's are being rediscovered and deemed 'cool' again.
...
Only took you guys 40 years. 😜
I CANT BELEIVE THERE WAS SO MUCH MUSIC IN THESE YEARS!!! WAO....THESE YEARS WERE BLANK PASSED BY....MEMORIES!!!!
its a pity you can,t buy any on this wonderful music
Karimata, memorable music when I was enjoying my youth in the city of Bogor, Indonesia
Wow, such great memories of listening to his very music in the early-mid '80's while staying in rental in Manhattan Beach, CA. Recaptures a whole era for me!
been looking for this type of music for ages....the backdrop to so many 80s/90s movies
So many good ones! Omg, I’m in heaven! Especially anything from 1986, it was a good year for me!
Same here! 1986-1987 brought some great music!
I was still too young to be experienced to anything past top 40 radio and pop hits. Michael Jackson, Billy Ocean, and other stuff like that was what I exposed to the most. I wish my parents listened to this kind of stuff, I would have loved it!
i been listening to vaporwave and mallsoft for a while now not realizing its just smooth jazz with some effects thrown on it. Nice to get my music directly from the source!
Discovered this playlist 4 months ago and I keep comin back. Thanks KJC!
this is the best music ive ever listened to(i listen to lots of music)...!
Man u killing me with the vibes. LOVE IT. The late 70s to the mid 80s is the best for SJ and I'm on the ride. Much luv. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
wow 7 hours? NICE!!!
Some gentle Classic music for a happy morning. Take me back to when lived in SF and listened to KKSF, sweet memories. (KKSF was sold and took up a different format) Thanks KJCMuzique!🏄♂
My goodness! Haven't heard this music since I lived in Phoenix, AZ. in the 80s. Thank you so much for the music. 🙂🙂🙂♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰🙏🙏
Did you by chance listen to KJZZ in Phoenix back in the day?
@@KJCMuzique Oh yes I did!🥰
Even though my kids are in their 30s and 40s now,they still remember and listen to this music. Nothing like it🥰😘😘🙂
Smooth and silky. Perfect for the mornings. Thank you for this 🙏
I'm only 30 but I distinctly remember hearing this particular type of smooth jazz with synthesizer VERY OFTEN as a kid. But now its almost impossible to find on TH-cam besides on this channel. Where did the rest of it go?
my brother you are the best!!
Wow! Thank you so so much for the music! Neil Larson(Alborada) I so remember listening to this when I used to live in Phoenix back in the late 80s
Thank you again so very much for all your hard work 🏖️........
I notice that you have included some luminaries ( although the selections are rare grooves ). Most notably you have included Stix Hooper and Barry Finnerty - both of whom have tenure with the Crusaders. And you also have Tom Scott, Jorge Dalto and Eric Gale
I've been a fan of "progressive jazz, new age jazz, and smooth jazz since I first heard Bob James' "sun runner ". I thank you deeply for sharing your love of these cool smooth tunes. Radio stations like WHUR 96.3, WJZZ 105.9, WJAZ 100.3 and WBMW FM in D.C were my source.
almost forgot to listen to this today
Easy for sleep? I think so, and that’s so nice because you can “hear” things through dreams. It helps, and I l i k e!!!
Edit: I actually did sleep with this playing softly on the bedside table. Thanks again!
1:26 has strong Chrono Trigger vibes.
Thanks KJ!!
Sure thing!
Definitely recaptures the feel of late 80s and early 90s!
Thanks a lot for uploading these.
Such high quality of music! Just Wonderful Selection! Thank you very much! Be inspirated and creative in your activity in your life everytime! Congratulations and greetings from Bulgaria! Take my best wishes!
Thanks for reminding us how great this music was in the hey days of CJAZZ radio stations like CD101.9 . I used to listen to those stations and run inmedialty to tower records and get the CD... I have many of these CDS.. and i am creating my own playlist on my ITUNES ... I am surprise that you have the group CHOICE in this playlist! I am giving them another spin after almost 30 years... Thanks for posting
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! This mix is amazing, can't wait to stream it! 🍹🌴🌴
Were did it all go greatness of that time
Simply wonderful mix thanks
Oh Yeah! These compilations are appreciated. Thanks again for your thoughtful work.
Thanks man, I've been working on this playlist for weeks!
Absolutely amazing mix, made my evening finding this 🙏🏽❤️
Thank you very much. I am loving this.
oh lord, KJCMuzique! i can't begin to thank you for all of your *serious, *serious hard work in putting this mix together and making the track list for all of us. you are a saint, brother!
The BEST ONE YET!!! I've been streaming this constantly. So many hidden gems in this mix. Thanks for all the time and articulation you put into these uploads, just for all of us to enjoy! Your channel is like a reincarnation of all the defunct 80s "smooth jazz" radio stations! Much gratitude to you sir! 🙏🙏
U DAMN RIGHT!!! Man this is on fire.
I'm getting an education from your site on artists I didn't know existed. The Breeze Network was the station I enjoyed, and they had a deep playlist, especially for a satellite network. For you, 94Q must have been a similar revelation. Each service/station had similar playlists and styles. It was probably best that there weren't presets on my radio with different shades of stations like these--I would never have gotten anything else done.
I'm glad, hope you discovered some new favorites, or maybe some forgotten ones. 94Q "Jazz Flavours" was just like this mix, but to me Jazz Flavours was so special because it had deep roots in jazz rock fusion emerging in the late 60s and 70s, and from 1978-1989 the show slowly evolved to incorporating everything from chart artists, to local groups and imported music that wasn't even available at the time, even to this day. I truly miss those days, if I had not lived near ATL, I may not have been exposed to this music and would not have been inspired to start collecting as a teen.
What's Up KJCMuzique, Man I just finished this one and man you got some great tracks in this one. I was doing some woodworking in the garage and just turned this on No Fuss, just great music. thank you This is a great ya'll.................By the way this is how WNUA in Chicago use to be; when they first started out. With NO DJs just great music, and a station ID ad every now and then..
Man, 94Q "Jazz Flavours" on WQXI was basically this playlist with the occasional vocal tune here and there, which I enjoyed as well. Russ would play everything from "chart" jazz albums, local artists, and highly obscure import albums that he obtained while travelling. He played many foreign artists he discovered at the Montreux jazz fest that he went to annually. Somebody just sent me a tape they recorded off of 94Q Jazz Flavours in 1986 that has some tunes I don't even remember hearing before on it, hope to upload it on here soon.
Just discovered your channel a few minutes ago. This music takes me back. I absolutely love this. I can hit play and just chill or work to this. Especially after a long shift working with Covid-19 patients.......it’s this that can get me thru the rest of the day until the next shift. Thanks for this. Keep it coming. Definitely subscribed my brother!!!!!
Terrific
uff es una delicia al oído. Esta música es tan mágica!!!!!
love this.
Thanks a lot!!!
Wow !!!!!!!
This is so nice to listen to. If you've ever played Dead Rising, the mall music (Especially VIP Lounge music in 2) in those games sound very similar and is what got me into this type of Jazz. Love it. Thank you for this. 😊
Love it. Thank you very much!
Keren bang...
Love it...
4:26:41 Deep in a trance....
This is a GREAT playlist! I’m looking for a song that isn’t on here though. I don’t know the name of it or the artist but it features a piano lead with a unique bass line. It was fusion with a bossa nova feel. I first heard it in 1980 (possibly 1979) but for the life of me I can’t find this song.
I would absolutely love a download of this ! is there anyway of being able to get it ?
✨❤️
Are you on Mixcloud? Would be so dope if you had a show there =)
I'll check that out
WHERE ARE THE VEIWS????
Thank you very much for this great long playing album. Just perfect as overnight background music for full night relaxation. But I would appreciate much more with all ads taken away completely. Way too many annoying and despicable lousy ads that know nothing but fool off people for their money. Plus quite embarrassing and humiliating too in formal gatherings when while listening to good sound an ad suddenly blurts out in the middle, even twice louder than the music itself as if coming from nowhere and cuts off the pleasing ambiance created by the great music altogether. Sorry to say, unless the ads are eliminated, would not recommend the video played in parties or any gathering. But In general, i definitely love the video compilation but only dislike the ads that spoil it.
Hi, is there a playlist available Thank you.
Yes, it's pinned above
is there are playlist for these musics?
Yes it’s pinned in the comments
