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?

Before dismissing smooth jazz, know this:

1. check the credits on many of Steely Dan's early records, you'll find Larry Carlton's name on many of them. That said, he's credited with one of rock's most impressive guitar solos on Kid Charlemagn (?).

2. Nathan East, Four Play, has been Clapton's choice for a bassist for both tours and the studio.

3. Check out Carlton's Rerecorded CD, then let us know.
4. Check out Carlton's live CD with Steve Lukather from a live Japanese tour.

and on and on and on.....
