The Weather Channel Presents...

[The Red Menace]

No, comrades, the above title is not a joke. Given our occasional tendency to squabble amongst ourselves like splinter Trotskyite groups, I post this thread with high hopes that it will provide a unifying point of departure for excess scorn, derision, and less-than-good-humored anger!

The Weather Channel Presents the Best of Smooth Jazz

[Free For All]

Talk about lobbing one right over the plate!

[BruceH]

Frankly I really don't get the connection between the Weather Channel and any kind of jazz, or any kind of music for that matter.

Ah, "local on the 8's"---I see. Why anyone would buy it is beyond me, but I'm sure someone will.

Hasn't there been a discussion before of the fact that they occasionally use (or used, I haven't watched with the sound on in a very long time) jazz that we'd all recognize as not of the smooth variety? Funny that they'd program and market a smooth jazz comp.

Your memory is correct. You and I made mention of jazz on the Weather Channel on this thread. http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...mp;#entry332992

What, no Gypsy Kings?

This is great on so many levels. "The Weather Channel presents..." But since when was Chick Corea's "Windows" defined as smooth jazz? I'm sure he'd be delighted about that.

If I'd seen cover without any explaination, I would have easily bet somebody lunch that it was a photoshop spoof.

Don't know weather whether to or -- so I'm doing some of each.
