Smooth jazz recommendations

Hi, Do I have a great one for you. It is Jeanne Lee with Mal Waldron, title After Hours. This is not only great music but sound wise blows away most of my SACDs and this is only a standard CD.#SSC3502 on the Owl Sunnyside label. I really think you will love it, I sure do. jerry.

Big, Sweet 'N Blue, with Norris Turney on Alto Sax. With Larry Willis, Walter Booker, and Jimmy Cobb. This CD is on the Mapleshade label, and sonics are marvelous. Smoother than 150 year old Grand Marnier!

Even my girlfriend (who admittedly doesn't care for jazz) likes the Charlie Haden cd's: "A Night in the City" with Kenny Barron on piano- a duet in a nightclub setting with a good system sounds like you are right there. Great dim light music at dinner. Also "Nocturne" with Gonzalo Rubacalba, which has more varied instrumentation.

If these two aren't "smooth" then accuse me of being too much of a jazz aficionado...but please give a listen as you can preview them at Amazon, etc.

Frank Morgan "Mood Indigo"

Look for a thread on Denny Jiossa. There might be one on Brian Hughes also. After that, Larry Carlton, Norman Brown(After the Storm), Fourplay, Rippingtons, Fattburger, Chieli Minucci, Ray Obiedo (Modern World), Bob James (Morning Noon and Night), Zachary Breaux (Live or Uptown Groove), Rony Jordan (At Last), Craig Chaquico, Chris Standring (Velvet, Hip Sway), Alex Bugnon, Kirk Whalem, Art Porter, Crusaders, Thom Rotella, Four80East (Nocturnal), Richard Elliot, David Benoit (Fuzzy Logic), Chris Botti, Nick Colionne and many more. This might not be smooth jazz, Michael Manring "Drastic Measures". This list can be extended even further. Good luck with your search. Try Borders for audio samples.
