Jeff, when you're on this cruise, I'll be in my office listening to "The Royal Scam" over and over, and probably crying. |
I'll echo what nifty said here with regards to recommendations. But just remember jazz is so varied in it's style it's like saying "rock" yet meaning everything from Buddy Holly to Pantera. My personal favorites are Steely Dan (of course), Larry Carlton, Pat Methany, George Benson, Wes Montgomery, Charlie Christian, Acoustic Alchemy, and maybe John McLaughlin (for some crazy stuff).
And nifty...given the inspiration that Larry has provided me over the last several years I'll probably be crying too!
