    10cc, Robin Taylor Zander

    In 1975, rock & roll still only ranked as a twentysomething genre. Radio took up a universal bandwidth in the absence of internet and cable TV. Into this much smaller cosmos wafted “I’m Not in Love.” Electric piano, Moog synthesizer, and a choir of three voices multiplied into 48 – co-writer Graham Gouldman with duo Kevin Godley and Lol Creme – the worldwide hit opened by declaring, “I’m not in love, so don’t forget it/ It’s just a silly phase I’m going through.” In fact, co-singer/writer Eric Stewart penned it as a pledge for his wife. The Top 10 U.S. breakthrough here comes sung by 10CC’s sole constant, Gouldman, now 78. – Raoul Hernandez

    Jeff Kashiwa w/ Parker Jazz Club House Band (9:30, 7:00)

    Cleverly manufacturing his own luck, saxophonist Jeff Kashiwa gained a spot in smooth jazz kings the Rippingtons by hiring their bassist Steve Bailey for one of his own projects, thus being in the right place at the right time when their original saxist left. Though the multi-woodwinder has continued to perform and record with the Ripps since leaving the band at the end of the Nineties, he’s also persisted in a 30-year solo career that’s now 11 albums deep. He hits Parker on the heels of the release of Luminoso, an album influenced by Brazilian bossa nova and tropical rhythms. – Michael Toland
