The smooth jazz scene continues to evolve with creativity and elegance, and a brand-new edition of Smooth Jazz Discover arrives packed with fresh releases, refined grooves and outstanding international artists. In episode 269, Santi Fontenla presents a carefully curated selection featuring both established names and emerging talents shaping today’s contemporary jazz landscape.

Three tracks are featured in the show: In Your Eyes, Rain On Our Sins and Con Pausa de Galán, showcasing different sides of his melodic, atmospheric and modern musical vision.

Among the highlights, listeners will also discover Contemplation by Joshua Pinkham, the smooth collaboration between Daryl Beebe and Tim Bowman on I-75, and the sophisticated textures of Hello World by d’Z, Jared Grant and Kjell Jacobson.

Funk-infused jazz energy arrives with Steve Cole and Cory Wong on Maceology, while Joseph Karriem delivers a more organic and soulful approach with Rhonda. The program also features the emotional atmosphere of Send Love by Eric McCann, Lost World Orchestra and Dave Shul, alongside the powerful live version of Just a Little Time by Theresa Grayson.

The musical journey continues with new music from William Prince, Scott Mayo, Michael E, John E. Lawrence and Devon Howard, as well as stylish productions like Happy Ending by Resh and the elegant reinterpretation of This Girl’s in Love with You by De-Phazz featuring the timeless voice of Ella Fitzgerald.

The show closes with the sophisticated grooves of Make Me A Memory by Djsaxlondon and Echelon by Mark Maxwell and Dr. Saxlove, completing another essential edition of Smooth Jazz Discover dedicated to the finest contemporary smooth jazz releases from around the world.
