The <em>Jazz Cafe<\/em> series started with a guess. It was the same place that I had picked up the <em>Relaxation: A Time To Dream<\/em> double disc <em>New Age<\/em> album. Meijer had a music department and like most department store music departments, it focused on the current and popular in the main categories. A few classic bands are thrown in to fill out the section but\u00a0not any attempt to be thorough. At the end of the aisle\u00a0was a section\u00a0comprised of compilations and <em>As Seen On TV<\/em> kind of stuff. These are typically by people you never heard of or songs of a period or era as performed by the studio band singers and orchestra.<\/p>\n<p>As I look at the cover art of <em>Jazz Caf\u00e9 Worlds Away<\/em>, it is obvious to me my it stood out.\u00a0 I wasn&#8217;t what you&#8217;d consider a Jazz enthusiast. I think the closest I got to Jazz was the Charlie Brown albums that I had. It was in the $4.99 rack\u00a0so it was easy to take a chance. Man was I delighted!\u00a0<em>Worlds Away\u00a0<\/em>is 9 tracks of energetic instrumental music. I suppose\u00a0technically it is jazz but it is far from the free from jazz exploration I feared.<\/p>\n<p>Saxophones,\u00a0 guitars, keyboards and up tempo beat.\u00a0<em>Worlds Away<\/em> is a great album to listen to at the office.\u00a0 It is also good background music for a dinner party or other conversation based gathering. I would really love to share some samples of this cool album with you but YouTube doesn&#8217;t seem to have any.
