There are several varieties of Jazz. A while back we had a radio station that played a special format they called "Smooth Jazz," some might call it Contemporary Jazz. Some of it is simply a pop tune played by a Jazz artist, sometimes it's an original composition. Anyway, the station changed and now they play the same music that all of the other stations play... so now it's CDs or Internet Radio.

Nice one, Thunder. Dex has a jazz thread here somewhere. We can leave them both up.

This is a song I like a lot. When it was recorded instrumentally by the Yellojackets, it was called "Local Hero". However, when the Yellojackets recorded it as a vocal with Michael Franks, the title was "The Dream". I've not yet been able to find out why.
I like both versions. See what you think.
