In The Mix with Reggie TheJazzman

It's raining outside....again. So why not just run with that? I'm chillin in the Mixing Lab letting the creative juices flow. With me it always comes down to feel. Today, the serenity, the mist, the light rain and my personal peace of mind intersected. Yep...I FEEL that... This Is Respite, a breather. More relaxation for the mind, body and soul. Close your eyes, Let it soak in....it's time to Fade...

I've been holding onto this for a while...something summery, just in time for some warm weather, fun in the sun, island hopping, Pina Colada and all of that stuff. Traded the automobile in for a yacht, cruising with a twist.....VACATION STYLE!  My featured artist for this podcast is Eric Copeland from Player A. His lyricism and laid back style will certainly bring to mind someone who I'm sure you'...

Just finishing up April and the JAM sessions (Jazz Appreciation Month) with a fresh podcast. I'm squeezing this one in....better late than never . ENJOY!!

April is proving to be a big month. The universe is granting many of us a once-in-a-lifetime experience....a chance to see a full eclipse. I happen to live right in the Path Of Totality so for right around 4 minutes I'll be covered to total darkness at 3 in the afternoon.  In addition, I'm having to make some huge changes in the way I create my podcasts and mix music. I wasn't quite ready for this...

This one is FIYAH from the start....I just happened to truly be in one of those 'cast your cares to the wind" moods so I did just that. It translated into some some pretty energetic cuts to kickstart the podcast. Soundwise, i optimized this one in the Mixing Lab. The audio really kicks in a vehicle with that crisp, airy, open road wind in your hair feel.  SO, hit the road and ENJOY! If you happen...

Life throws you curveballs but you have to stay at the plate, dig in and keep on swinging. This podcast is me connecting and sending the curveball SOARING. Techy issues with my toys along with just a busy daily schedule have kept me from putting out shows regularly but guess what?? PERSISTENCE BREAKS RESISTANCE! I'm stubborn so...here it is.  Lots of good music on here, it TRULY felt good to get t...

I couldn't let Love Day pass by without dropping something although I'm a day behind. An eventful week and some untimely technical issues set me back a few days. I was going to just skip this mix altogether but a couple well-placed requests and I gave in. It's all about love right? Soooooo.....cozy up with that special someone and let me know how this works for ya. Happy Belated and Enjoy the mix!...

While i was looking through my catalog for songs and song titles relevant to Martin Luther King Jr., I thought about the deep south where many of his battles were fought. Of course, three key cities involved in the civil rights movement were Selma, Montgomery and Birmingham. Along with marches and non-violent protests, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered some of his most memorable speeches in these l...

When I close my eyes, whether the purpose is to settle down and relax, nap for a few or call it quits for the night and fall asleep, I like having those slow, melodic tunes by my side with the volume just right. Lullabies and ballads. It just 'does something' to you. My inquisitive nature about what that some thing is led me to do some research. We've heard it said that music has charms to sooth a...

This will be added to the morning routine at some point. Yeah, a hot shower feels good and gets things moving. Add a cup of coffee to boost things a little more, need that kick to get everything moving in the right direction. But when I turn up the funk, the morning is on a whole nutha level. The Mixing Lab was crazy, buzzing with mad energy when I put this podcast together. Wicked bass lines, kil...

I've been feeling this uptempo kinda vibe lately. Maybe because the days of summer are counting down and I'm holding on to that sunshine. Midwest Ohio is certainly beautiful in the fall with all its combinations of red, orange and yellow foliage but I like feeling the summer breeze. I have to admit though that mornings are nice right now, the air is crisp and fresh, and the night aren't too bad ei...

I'm back with some more, this podcast on the heels of some 'me' time. Yep...summer brings on sunshine and vacation. Thankfully I had jus enough of both. I had a pretty nice getaway, hitting the road for about 5 hours or so. And you know I was listening to?? That's right...The Carefree Drives were loaded up back to back. Helped make that drive seem a lot shorter, smoother and enjoyable. I couldn't...

It has been quite rainy this season...most of the spring and now leading into summer, which is officially here. I'm not one who is influenced that greatly by strong winds, dark clouds, torrential downpour and flooding but Mother Nature has a way of getting attention. She definitely caught mine. Not to be deterred, I turn to the tunes. There's all kinds of new stuff out there, some of which you'll...

Beauty in the dark.....it piques the curiousity, the need to know. There's much to say about the silhouette of a woman, the shadows of mystery. Lurking in the dark, she's poised somewhere between the shadows and the light. For some it's a mystique that's attractive and sexy, For others, possibly even dangerous. Perhaps there's some magical magnetism that, one way or another, draws us closer. Her n...

It was the 70's. Saturday night back in NYC. Brooklyn to be exact. You could always count on someone throwin' a house party. Maybe you didn't get a personal invite but somewhere, somebody had it goin' on. Seek and you would find. The neighborhood buzz would lead you to the place where you greeted by the sounds. You might get lucky and gain entry if you knew somebody that knew somebody partyin' at...

Always putting my jazzy twist on things....and of course, 'IN THE MIX', Funnin' is a one of the 30 minute jazz mixes I put together for a short stint on a radio network several years back. It was challenging and exciting to do something different and spice up the show at that time. It was my 30 minutes to show off my skills. The shows producer loved the mixes and kept me on. Unfortunately that who...

It's easy for me to admit I fell in love with this woman at some point a long time ago. Like so many others, I still have much love for her even now. Phyllis captured me with that beautiful voice and captivating beauty. My "Sophisticated Lady". The One who has the amazing ability to make me remember, recall, reminisce, reflect and forget, leaving behind those sad days and difficult times. Rather i...

THE SHOW MUST GO ON....... In spite of the fact that I practically lost my voice due to a battle with a cold, and physically was a little drained, this is where the rubber meets the road. Time to put in some work, after all, mentally I was feeling pretty good. Good enough to take a Carefree Drive. MUSIC BE MY HEALER! If you happen to be a little under the weather, maybe the change of seasons got a...
