Smooth Jazz Freak needs New Artists

I listen to a lot of Smooth Jazz/New Age (not the meditational or nature sounds type, but closer to Smooth Jazz sound) music.

I'm very narrow in casual listening preferences. Some names I have: Craig Chaquaco, Rippingtons, 3rd Force, Acoustic Alchemy, Larry Carlton, Spyro Gyra, Norman Brown, Boney James, Paul Taylor, Dave Sanborn, David Benoit, Euge Groove, etc. I enjoy almost any instrumentation played in a smooth jazz format.

Anyone got some hot new artists to recommend? (BTW, I DID a search for "smooth jazz" on the site here and not a single reference! So, maybe this can pump up the archive a bit for us poor boring listeners. :)

I like a lot of the suggestions mentioned above. Lots of good stuff there. If you're looking to broaden your horizons over time I can suggest doing two things:

(1) Sign up with BMG Music and look through their catalog. Or subscribe to yourmusic.com (also a BMG company).

(2) Subscribe to Jazziz magazine. It's a monthly publication about all types of jazz, and it comes with a CD compilation in each issue. A great way to be introduced to jazz music from a variety of artists without having to buy a boatload of CD's.

Enjoy,
Bob
