Listen "Weekend Smooth Jazz Countdown September 28th, 2025"
Episode Synopsis
From the KUNV studios at UNLV, Pamela Black guides you through the smoothest countdown in America—20 to 1—with fresh grooves, big movers, and a few surprises. This week features chart momentum from Blake Aaron (“Dare to Fly”), Quintin Gerard W. (“Streets of Gold”), and Jeff Ryan (“Missing Your Love”), plus an artist spotlight on Darren Rahn (“Light of the World”). In the Top 5, Norman Brown (“Casual Cool”), Roberto Restuccia (“De Nada”), and Pamela Williams (“Strollin’”) set the stage for a tight race at the top. 3rd Force surges to #2 with “Show Me the Way” (feat. Nils), but Gerald Albright claims #1 with “Living My Best Life.” You’ll also hear our Featured Headliner segment on the Canadian electro-jazz duo Four80East (“Cinco Cinco Seis”) and a classic moment celebrating Earth, Wind & Fire. Cap it off with a bonus “Safe Bet” pick from Lisa Addeo (“Lipstick and Moonlight”). Tap in for coast-to-coast contemporary jazz that keeps your weekend in the groove.
