Every month we would feature an Artitst/Band from all over the world for you, our genre of recommendation would purely base on Contemporary Jazz, Pop Jazz, Acid Jazz, Latin Jazz, Blues, Bossa Nova, Samba, Easy Listening, and similar genres.
This month we focus on:Mindi Abair (born on May 31st, 1969) is an American smooth jazz saxophonist with a strong Top-40 pop music background. She was a backing musician for such acts as Mandy Moore and the Backstreet Boys, and often appeared in their tours. During this time she independently released a pop album, Always and Never the Same.
In 2003, Abair decided to give jazz a try, and the move proved to be successful. Often billed as "the second coming of Candy Dulfer," she scored big hits like "Lucy's," "Flirt," and "Save the Last Dance" (which takes its name from the movie). Mindi also sings occasionally, as evidenced by her vocal cover version of the Eagle Eye Cherry hit "Save Tonight" on her debut album. In 2006, she released the single "True Blue".
Abair also plays the flute and keyboard, and she is the host of the syndicated radio program Chill with Mindi Abair, which focuses on chill out music. She took over hosting duties for the show, then known as Chill with Chris Botti, from previous host Chris Botti in 2007.
You can find her latest album "Stars" playing in Mr. Bean Cafe this July.
