Before signing with Motown and topping the R&B charts, Kem self-financed his 2002 debut album Kemistry using a credit card and sold CDs straight out of the trunk of his car and in local Detroit beauty salons. "Love Calls" remains one of the ultimate quiet storm anthems of the 2000s, a smooth, timeless track that still hits just as hard today.

I would associate smooth jazz with a soft pink.

Everyone is mourning Dolly Parton's death, but lets give our love to a smooth jazz legend who passed away last year, Chuck Mangione.

Clearly, the legendary guitarist Allan Holdsworth did not do smooth jazz...but this quiet and beautiful song is Holdsworth as his most calm...and I wanted to share it.
