Episode 490~ July 10, 2025 Podcast Info / Topics With the growing trend of cities cleaning up the waterways to encourage recreation, there is still a hesitation to go in the water Scientists built a replica of a 30,000 year old canoe and used it to test a theory of an ancient sea crossing Bob […]

Last month's M&W set at Green Bar will be uploaded in a future episode, in order to make way for this month's special "Cali-Jentes West Coast Smooth Jazz" opening set by none other than Markus Jentes, whose birthday we'll be celebrating this upcoming Wednesday July 16.BACKGROUND -For those who aren't aware, Markus (a.k.a. Mark Cali-Jentes) and I, Elian, go way way back.  We first played together a Bellissima in the Fort Strip where we were introduced by common friend Wendell Garcia in 2003.  Mark not only played at but also did the graphic design for the unforgettable Paseo Uno LOUNGE pool party series I organized with the Mandarin Oriental in 2004.  Mark and I then teamed up with Martin Wisniewski to help turn M Café into Makati's top nightspot in 2005 with the MyHOUSE weekly parties.  20 years later, Mark and I are back behind the decks once a month at Green Bar with the Music & Wine parties.  As for Inés, she's known Mark as long as I have, maybe even longer, and we're all still the closest of friends today.Aside from being a great DJ, Mark is today one of the Philippines' most engaging artists.  You can find his exquisite paintings exhibited in galleries around Manila or on his website at www.markusjentes.art  Having studied the visual arts at Pepperdine University in Los Angeles in the 90s,  he fell in love with California's brand of smooth jazz, listening to the likes of Bob James, David Benoit, Lee Ritenour, and David Sanborn, to name a few.  This is the vibe that Mark recreates in his set for this week's podcast. DJ SETS -Mark and I happen to be performing together this Friday July 11 at the closing party of Chotto Matte in BGC starting at 6pm sharp.  So come join us for Happy Hour if you're in the area!We're also celebrating Mark's birthday this upcoming Wednesday July 16 at M&W Green Bar in Legaspi Village, Makati, starting at 5pm.  You DON'T wanna miss that.  And now, 2 hours of California smooth jazz (Mark's opening set) followed by 2 hours of deep house music (my closing set) recorded at Green Bar in April.  Enjoy!Elian & Inés

Hey guys, Debbie Nigro here — and if you're anything like me, you're holding on to hope, love, and music to lift your spirits… in spite of it all. That phrase — “in spite of it all” — felt like the perfect segue into one of the most meaningful and emotional conversations I've had in a long time on The Debbie Nigro Show. I had the honor of welcoming the incredible Wayne Warnicke, a legendary music producer who was diagnosed with ALS in 2022, and his powerhouse of a wife, the talented and soulful Vaneese Thomas. Together, they are the heartbeat behind Musicians United for ALS, a one-night-only benefit concert packed with iconic talent — all coming together to raise funds for ALS research and patient support.   Meet Wayne & Vaneese: They Brought Such Great Energy to the Show. Theirs Is a Love Story in Music and Resilience Wayne's story is one of deep passion and remarkable perseverance. From starting as a drummer at age 9 to producing legends like Bob James, Luther Vandross, and David Sanborn, Wayne's music journey has been nothing short of epic. He fell in love with the studio life as a teenager walking into Minot Sound in White Plains — and never looked back. And then there's Vaneese. A force of nature. A blues powerhouse. A woman who met Wayne in the studio and never left his side. Now, she's not only singing the blues, but she's also living with love and lifting Wayne every step of the way. “She does everything,” Wayne said, with humor in his voice and gratitude in his heart. “I'm a lot of work,” he chuckled. And yet, his spirit is unstoppable.   Mark your calendars: April 15th at the Concert Hall at SUNY Purchase. This ADA-compliant venue will welcome a phenomenal lineup of artists, many of whom have deep personal ties to Wayne: Patti Smythe of Scandal Paul Shaffer of Late Show with David Letterman fame Average White Band (hello, 70s groove!) Lisa Fisher, Grammy-winning vocal goddess James "D-Train" Williams Bob James (another Grammy legend!) Ed Palermo Big Band Bernie Williams, yes, THAT Bernie from the Yankees Rising local star Elsa, guitar virtuoso Gil Parris, and more! And hosting the evening? None other than Vinnie Pastore of The Sopranos — you know it's going to be a blast. The musical direction is in the expert hands of Rob Mathes, a Kennedy Center Honors-level arranger and a dear friend of the couple. Plus, yes — there will be cocktails and hors d'oeuvres starting at 5:30pm, all included in your ticket!   Why This Matters ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, is cruel, mysterious, and currently incurable. Wayne's journey with ALS began when he couldn't quite stand up straight… then swimming got harder… and eventually, the diagnosis came. But rather than retreat, Wayne has rallied. He's using his voice — and his incredible connections — to shine a light and raise funds. As he put it, “If life hands you lemons, make lemonade.” This event is about music, yes. But it's also about love, awareness, accessibility, and hope. The funds raised will go directly toward research and patient support, and the energy in the room will be unforgettable.   Get Your Tickets or Donate Now! Visit Musicians United for ALS to buy your tickets or make a donation. (Yes, it's tax-deductible!) Show Wayne, Vaneese, and the entire ALS community that they are not alone.   Final Thoughts  You know, some people just have that light. Wayne and Vaneese are those people. Their love, their strength, their humor, and their commitment to turning a difficult diagnosis into a night of celebration… it's just extraordinary. I promise you'll be inspired listening to them both in this podcast of our live conversation on The Debbie Nigro Show.

You're here, there, and everywhere tuned into The Paul Leslie Hour, where the airwaves come alive with fascinating conversations and timeless stories. It's a great pleasure to welcome two jazz legends—Bob James and Dave Koz—to talk about their new album, Just Us.

In this interview, they share insights about their latest collaboration and even reveal some news hot off the press that's sure to excite their fans. And with that, let's begin episode number 1,063 of The Paul Leslie Hour.

Bob James and Dave Koz are titans in the world of contemporary jazz. After years of guesting on each other's productions, the duo decided they would toss off a short CD of duets just as a thank you to guests on one of Dave Koz's jazz oriented cruises. This miniature collaboration led to a full blown duo release recorded in Bob James' home in Michigan. Jazz88's Patty Peterson caught up with James and Koz to get more details about the album and their upcoming show at The Parkway Theater in Minneapolis.
