Yeah, yeah, I know a lot of you guys hate smooth jazz. Lately, some of it's starting to grow on me, especially stuff along the lines of Spyro Gyra, Gerald Albright, and George Benson.
Any recommendations of some smooth jazz with great bass playing? |

Check out some Rippingtons, Richard Elliot, Paul Taylor. I think it would be hard to find a smooth jazz track where the bass isn't out front.

Marcus Miller (not quite smooth jazz), Michael Manson, Wayman Tisdale, Gerald Albright, Yellowjackets, Spyro Gyra and Boney James to name a few. I know some names were already mentioned! |
