Where some of today's most fascinating artists, producers, label owners, and DJs take us on an intimate journey through their personal record collections and the stories behind the music. With your host, founder of Toneoptic, Fabian Geyrhalter.
Peter Legat is the creative force behind Count Basic, a band that you know if you are an acid jazz or smooth jazz fan. If you look at the band’s most streamed songs, number two is the big smooth jazz hit M.L. In The Sunshine, which spent 11 weeks at number 1 of the American New Adult Contemporary charts, and number one on that list is Speechless Drum & Bass. Drum & Bass was, and still is, as far from smooth jazz as it can get. And that, in a nutshell, is Count Basic.
