Sometimes, all it
takes is one incredible song for a renowned local
performer to become an overnight national sensation.
Bay Area jazz fans had known and loved Joyce Cooling as
one of the region's most dynamic and popular guitarists
for years when her San Francisco inspired hit single,
"South of Market", and her debut CD, "Playing It Cool",
took the smooth jazz world by storm in 1997. Both soared
to #1 on the Gavin Report and Radio & Records NAC/smooth
jazz charts and remained there for five consecutive
weeks as the accolades came streaming in. Cooling was a
nominee for Gavin's Smooth Jazz Artist of the Year, was
named Best New Talent (Smooth Jazz) in the Jazziz
Reader's Poll and was an easy choice for Artist of the
Year by the nationally syndicated radio show, Jazz Trax.
Her follow-up CD, "Keeping Cool", also shot up the
charts with meteoric speed and boasts yet another #1
radio hit (Callie), and earned Joyce the Best Jazz
Guitarist of the Year (female) Gibson Guitar Award.
