Ah, the days when record labels would release samplers. Now they've been relegated to the used CD bins, where I picked this up for $1 without even looking at the track listing. And guess what? It sounds like smooth jazz from the early '90s - lots of synths and drum machines.
According to my extensive online research quest (Wikipedia), it appears that CD-101.9 was New York City FM station WQCD, which had a smooth jazz format 1988-2008. Now broadcasting at 101.9 is WFAN sports radio. However, through the wonders of technology, CD-101.9 can now be heard streaming online at http://www.smoothjazzcd1019.com and I gotta tell ya, it ain't bad.

Peak on the US Billboard Top 200 chart: Did not chart
Tracks: Turns out I had about a third of these tracks on other discs, but for a buck, I'm not complaining.
The better tracks are from Spyro Gyra (no surprise there), Dave Grusin, Chick Corea, and Tom Scott. I recommend skipping the New York Voices cover of Stevie Wonder's Too High.
Personal Memory Associated with this CD: none
