If you like bass, which I do, in addition to Christian McBride, Stanley Clarke, Victor Wooten, Brian Bromberg, and up and coming Dan Chmielinski--he was voted top jazz bass player in the entire midwest WHEN HE WAS 16, and all the rest were at least 25 that were voted in their respective instruments. He is now about 24. Joe Sample, once of the Crusaders, is a really good jazz piano player. If you like fusion jazz, Michael Franks, David Sanborn, Chris Botti, the group Fourplay, and Bob James. Singer wise, Dianne Reeves--multiple Grammy winner, along with Manhattan Transfer, and Natalie Cole. More would be Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.
