I wish there were more RT's for smooth jazz so you could make a whole CD without sounding repetitious. I like what is there ,but please at least a few more choices for keyboard and bass players. No need for real track variations changing only the fx of the keyboard and not the licks. I think most people can add their own chorus and reverb to suit their own taste .

Just listening to many of the smooth jazz stations on the internet, the weather channel, and elsewhere, one can quickly get a good idea of the many styles, variations, tempos, etc. used in this type of music. I'd like to see more of these styles, as well.

David, could you give some examples of artists and songs?

I've been using RealTracks for several years to make some great Christmas song backing tracks that I perform to. The jazz waltz tunes are especially good. My stuff is usually up-tempo, though.

I think I know what he's talking about. It's just been a while since I've listened to the radio. The names are almost at the tip of my tongue . . . C'mon, Matt, you know the names, too.

Somewhere in storage I've got a fantastic album of smooth jazz Christmas music recorded by some Nashville Christian session musicians, by which I mean they're from one of the Christian labels up there. Absent finding the tape* itself I can't remember the title or label, so hope that would be enough to go on. Prolly not; the thing is likely 15 or more years old. I'll be sure to post it if I find it. It would be a perfect example.

Since we're on the subject of Christmas, some MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER MIDI STYLES WOULD BE NICE. (Unless they already exist, which is entirely possible.)

*Yeah, you heard me. Polyvinyl chloride on two little reels in a box. Kay-sette.

Yes, I can think of some names. But that info is not for me; it really helps PG Music to give specific examples. When I have requested styles, I got results and it is partly because I left nothing to chance.

One Christmas CD I've got by Nashville musicians is "Sentimental Season". Very tasteful instrumentals. I think the piano guy is David Huntsinger. Also, anyone heard of Beegie Adair on piano or Denis Solee on horns? I wouldn't call their music smooth jazz (the funky kind), but they sure can swing.

OK, just wanted to bring this back up, since it has been 9 months...

I would REALLY like to see some more Smooth Jazz / Adult Contemporary Real Tracks in the vein of...

Acoustic Alchemy

Airborne

Boney James

Craig Chaquico

Euge Groove

Fattburger

Kaori Kobayashi

Lee Ritenour

Mindi Abair

Pieces Of A Dream

Urban Jazz Coalition

etc etc

These should include new Real Drums also, since what is available out of all the fantastic Real Drums WOULD work, but the feel is off...

Anyway, just wanted to bring this up once again, the poor Smooth Jazz stuff is getting lonely beside all the new stuff!!! LOL

That's a nice list.

I haven't heard of the Urban Jazz Coalition, nor Kaori Kobayashi. Have to check them out.

Some artists I would think are in a similar vein to those mentioned above are:

Richard Elliot

Rick Braun

Norman Brown

Steve Cole

Jeff Lorber

some Yellowjackets stuff

I guess we are even, I have not heard of Steve Cole, so there is a new one to look up!

And as bad as I hate to admit it, I am liking Kaori a little more than Mindi these days.

The Urban Jazz Coalition is one group that slipped under the radar for years when I was out looking at SJ stuff, so when I find out about them I get a surprise that they are local boys from Columbus, OH...too cool!

I think you will like them both Matt.....
