George Benson, Ella Fitzgerald, Sara Vaughn and Al Jarreau are great to sing with. For instrumentals, I'd go with John Coltrane, David Sandborn, Jean Luc Ponty and Charlie Parker.

further and extra gentle jazz tracks are very virtually insufferable. I truthfully have a word rfile referred to as "undesirable gentle jazz songs." On it are such numbers as Vandell Andrew's "enable's journey," or U-nam's "something's Up." hear to them and you could agree: it is noise. i do no longer evaluate Norman Brown or Greg Karukas to be gentle jazz artists. they are way too good for that label.

Get the album, "Kind of Blue" It is the most famous jazz album ever and is a great start.

Dave Koz is pretty good. His last two CD's were very good. Boney James is another good one.
