Even though I'm a Hard Bop Jazz devotee, I will give credit where credit is due. I don't consider them "smooth jazz" but close. I love Jean-Luc Ponty and John Scofield and have been to their concerts. The closest to "smooth jazz" I can say I listen to is Pat Metheny who I also love. When I think of smooth jazz I think of Dave Coz, David Sanborn, Kenny G (can't stand), etc. Irritating stuff in my opinion.
Any smooth jazz fans out there?
I've really become quite the smooth jazz fan over these past few years having Sirius radio and the Watercolors station. I've taken a liking to Brian Hughes smooth jazz guitar. Anyone know him? He's from California and performs that west coast sound. If you've ever heard the background music on the Weather Channel when they broadcast weather on the 8's, that's Brian Hughes. Listen over a great sound system and you'll love it. Also names such as Lee Ritenour, Larry Carlton, Fourplay, Norman Brown, Euge Groove, Paul Taylor, Peter White, and the of course Spyro Gyra. Any feedback?
