Smooth Jazz Freak needs New Artists

Michael Franks is cool.

Just added the "Yahoo Music Jukebox" feature (free download) onto my computer. Woa. More than I can handle! total overdose of information regarding artists! All with samples. I like that so I can listen first and save tons of money by not guessing on the sound...
Got it running right now; I think I'll have it playing in background whenever I'm wasting time on Agon/Asylum... Almost makes the time productive. Almost.

Doughlas,

It looks like you have rolled up your sleeves and gotten serious about this discovery. Smooth Jazz Radio stations can fool you because their playlist consist on many older songs and peppered with R&B, soul and lite Rock during the air time.

Check out these websites too:

http://www.smoothjazz.com/ (go to the top 50 & listening loft pages)

http://www.smoothvibes.com/

http://www.smooth-jazz.de/ (check out their reviews)

http://www.contemporaryjazz.com/ (my favorite website, check out the reviews, interviews, forum, news, and nu-voices)

From these sites you will find links to dozens of other sites.

You can spend a lot of money building a good collection, but there is always half.com, ebay, and your local used cd stores to find many of the older ones. Have a fantastic musical journey.

Try Buckdhot Lefanque (it's really Brandford Marsalis).
Guru is another good one.
