Good picks.  You like the old school stuff?  I like some of the newer smooth jazz artists of the 90s and 00s - Gregg Karukas, Paul Hardcastle, Najee, etc.

A thread after my own heart.  I LOVE smooth jazz.  I listen to a station out of Detroit on my pc and go to jazz concerts when I can.  I'm not that great with links and youtube, but many of you have mentioned artists (if not particular tracks) that I really enjoy.

I do enjoy a lot of the more contemporary artists like Boney James, Dave Koz, Paul Hardcastle (with and without Jazzmasters), Najee, Brian Culbertson, Steve Oliver, Russ Freeman (with and without the Rippingtons), Alex Bugnon, Peter White, the list goes on.  I also love Miles, Coltrane, Billie, and Sarah.  I also love some more "local" talent...Steve Sandner from Chicago (www.sandnermusic.com has tracks you can listen to/download--some of his stuff is cover, some is original) and Randy Marsh (drummer) from Grand Rapids, MI.  Randy also has a group, Organissimo, that has some stuff on youtube, like this (I hope it works):

I'd love to talk smooth jazz with anybody, anytime.  I look forward to reading/listening to what everyone posts on here.

And another one from the ‘90s…
For me, this one's a triple threat:
It's one of my favorite songs of the '90s, a favorite instrumental, and a favorite sax song.

I like this one a lot:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j9UUE54hj4

My dad used to listen to a lot of smooth jazz and new age music. Sometime in the mid-90's, we got our first surround sound system and I'd sit and listen to Yanni, Keiko Matsui, and others with him. Now whenever I hear those songs, it brings back so many nice memories.

Say "doo-blay."  Smoov Jazz from some Swiss dorks.  This one has a Bossa Nova feel to it.

I was going to post "Feels So Good" by Chuck Mangione, but I realized that doesn't fit in at all with the other stuff posted.

I guess I don't know exactly what "Smooth Jazz" is... :-[

Some artists like Sade and George Benson really blur the line between soul and jazz, I just call that music "quiet storm" or "soft R&B/soul". These songs often cross over to the R&B or pop charts.
