[luminortm]

mostly classic and smooth jazz. It's just something to relax to and listen to while I read, do whatever. mostly jazz without worRAB with a real smooth beat is good. If that makes any sense at all.

James Hunter sounRAB like one of the great black American soul singers from the late 50's, early 60's.

 

[Transitional CatBunny]

Would he be considered jazz, though?


I see his CD in Jazz and Blues sections, and I can hear both elements in his music. Either way, he's really good!

 

[cinthia.roxx]

Diana Krall = amazing
