Smooth Jazz Freak needs New Artists


I listen to a lot of Smooth Jazz/New Age (not the meditational or nature sounds type, but closer to Smooth Jazz sound) music.

I'm very narrow in casual listening preferences. Some names I have: Craig Chaquaco, Rippingtons, 3rd Force, Acoustic Alchemy, Larry Carlton, Spyro Gyra, Norman Brown, Boney James, Paul Taylor, Dave Sanborn, David Benoit, Euge Groove, etc. I enjoy almost any instrumentation played in a smooth jazz format.

Anyone got some hot new artists to recommend? (BTW, I DID a search for "smooth jazz" on the site here and not a single reference! So, maybe this can pump up the archive a bit for us poor boring listeners. :)

No offense but were do you live? Your list is very small, I would like to add to the suggestions already given (BTW are all great) Beatle Jazz, Chris Botti, 3rd Force, Rick Braun, Wayman Tisdale, Harvey Mason, I could go on but time is limited. I live in the NE if you can check out CD101.9 in NY the play smooth jazz you can find them on the web and look at there play list to get a feel for who is out there.

PS: Don't limit yourself to new artist there is a ton of grybeards who play great jazz that is as relaxing as smooth jazz.

Happy Listening
