Enjoy this warm night breeze from the West Coast!

The track by Joe Jackson is from the soundtrack to the incredibly good movie Sing Street, which is about a guy who starts a band to impress a girl.
“A woman can’t truly love a man who listens to Phil Collins.”

(Sing Street)

Based in Great-Britain, Tutankhamun is the solo project of Olly Toomey. He created his self-titled, smooth jazz album with a 1970s feel to it. His song Garden stands out by being more upbeat and optimistic, although it is quite a nostalgic song, about looking back and wondering if anything could have happened differently.

Sail-Joia was a 1970s Latin jazz/pop group from Amsterdam who started out as house band for the clubs Kosmos and Melkweg. They began recording music after the Portuguese brothers Antonio Lameirinhas and Fernando Lameirinhas joined the band. In 1980 the group disbanded and some of the members moved onto to Fernando's Ginga. In 1988 there was a short-lived reunion under the name Joia.
