I am sure you <em>will<\/em> hear this track on smooth jazz radio (if you haven&#8217;t already). <em>East Side<\/em> is a slow-mo retro groove featuring some feathery-funky lines from guest trumpeter Bill Ovitz. Joyce stretches out showing her style on the flowing <em>Don&#8217;t mind if I do<\/em>, an urban-groove piece that strolls along at a lesurely yet rolling pace. Vocalist <strong>Al Jarreau<\/strong> joins the party singing and scatting the hook in his inimitable style on <em>Mm-mm Good<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>    The South-American tinged <em>Tamba<\/em> is less traditional but again showcases Cooling&#8217;s scatting, flavorful style. This is Joyce&#8217;s third release, and the first for a major record label. Cooling shows her staying power here by putting together a CD that&#8217;s both original and creative. Kudos as well to Cooling&#8217;s partner, keyboardist-producer Jay Wagner for his exciting, consistent keyboards. You&#8217;ll hear him on the breezy <em>Daddy-O<\/em> and throughout the CD. Other than <em>Jarreau<\/em>, the band is Joyce&#8217;s usual cast of characters and this probably helped produce the flow that you feel running throughout.<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><font face=\"Verdana, Helvetica\" size=\"1\" style=\"font-face:verdana; font-size:8pt\"><cfinclude template=\"adbanner.asp\"\/><\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p>  <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Third Wish Joyce Cooling (GRP &#8211; 2001) by Ray Redmond<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3430\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
