Smooth Jazz Anyone?

I'm into the Smooth Jazz Artisits; Boney James, Kirk Whalum, Norman Brown, Dave Koz, etc.

Let's face it Kenny G is good, but there is so many artists out there.

If your at a loss and you want to learn more about Smooth Jazz Artists and not just the Main Stream ones, hit me up.

Looking forward to taking the Journey with you.

Until next time,

Mike C.

Paul Hardcastle, Euge Groove, Everette Harp, Paul Brown, Chuck Loeb, Joyce Cooling, Candy James, Boney James, Walter Beasley, Jeff Golub, Najee, I could go on and on and on and on ……

Smooth Jazz Fever I see; my current goal is to build on a collection that's not just mainstream.  There are a few you might not have heard off; then again you might have.  Check out 3rd Force, Fattburger, Marc Antoine, Peter White, to name a few.  It was great hearing from you, until next time........

Hi,

Kinda new  to the forum.  I love all the artist you mentioned.  Here are a few of my favs.  The Rippingtons, Brian Culbertson, Chieli Minucci, Dan Siegel and a vocalist named Janita...very nice.  There's also a group out of Japan called  T-Square they're great musicians.

These are just a few.

Check'em out when you have the opportunity.

Peace,

Ken B
