Various Artists - Wave Aid 7 (1993)

An innocuous compilation. A smooth jazz benefit CD from Los Angeles' KTWV radio station with proceeds going to the American Foundation for AIDS Research. As the title suggests, this was the seventh such endeavor undertaken by the station. My crack staff informs me the station eventually produced at least 9 such charity discs.

Peak on the US Billboard Top 200 chart: Did not chart

Tracks: 11 tracks, 62 minutes.

1. Natural Ride by Kenny G from the 1993 EP/Maxi-single Forever In Love.
2. A Little Bumpin' by Lee Ritenour from the 1993 album Wes Bound.
3. The Key Of Love by John Tesh from the 1993 album Monterey Nights.
4. Sound Of Summer by The Jazzmasters from the 1993 album The Jazzmasters.
5. Cellular City by Mars Lasar from the 1993 album the Eleventh Hour.
6. The Passion Theme by Warren Hill from the 1993 album Devotion.
7. Private Diary by Christopher Franke from the 1992 album The London Concert.
8. Love Will Follow by Kenny Loggins from the 1985 album Vox Humana.
9. Facing West by Pat Metheny from the 1992 album Secret Story.
10. Euro Cowboy by Special EFX from the 1993 album Play.
11. Paradise by Sade from the 1988 album Stronger Than Pride.

Before picking up this CD for 99¢, I had heard of all but two of the artists and was previously familiar with only the Sade track. My top picks are from Ritenour, Jazzmasters, Loggins (includes solo from David Sanborn), Metheny, and Sade.
