The "I hope you like it" sight has a listing of a couple of BC influenced groups. will have to check them out.
Hey Dat Mon...watchu think of ol' Kirk Whalum? Saw him in concert back in '88...am now married to the guy I went to see him with. he wrote on the album I had autographed that I had beautiful eyes! *whee!*
What is that "I hope you like it" site you are referring to. Sounds interesting.
"am now married to the guy I went to see him with"
Congrats... jazz music has a pronounced effect on some people! ;0)
Ive certainly heard of Kirk, but offhand I can't place his music...I know I've heard him...isn't he a sax player with more of a smooth jazz sound?
I saw some good smooth / crossover / Latin /jazz back in the late 80's.
A good jazz / crossover band from that period...maybe a bit later was SpecialFX. Chiele Minuchi is one of the tastiest jazz guitars around, also their percussion man was pretty good.
