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?

Sonic wall paper. Elevator music. Dont these guys use drum and bass machines?

Go back and get some Wes Montgomery albums if you like cool electric jazz guitar.

I'm sorry I asked. If you're not a fan, then zip it and keep your classless immature opinions to yourself. You don't belong on this forum. I can't believe you would disrespect someone else's musical interest. My intention for this thread was to open a discussion about the many great artists in this genre of music. For those of you who responded with words like crap and hate, I hope the management of Audiogon throws you all off this forum. You sound like children.

To Foster_9, relax. I'm a huge fan of straight ahead jazz and have probably been listening longer than you. I have many CDs by Horace Silver, John Coltrane, Art Blakey, Chick Corea, Dave Brubeck, Freddie Hubbard, etc. Smooth jazz is just a different format, that's all. So zip it.

I appreciate the replies from those of you who are fans. Thanks for your feedback.
