Here is my all time favorite smooth jazz guitarist:
       

       
       

My second favorite smooth jazz guitarist is Peter White.
       

       
I don't enjoy many vocalist....two to be exact. Number 1 is the incomparable Diana Krall
       

       
Number 2 is Sade. She started my love for smooth jazz with the classic "Smooth Operator".
       
       
And then there is my favorite trumpeter, Rick Braun.
       

   
       
And then there is Chris Botti
       
       
Paul Hardcastle and the JazzMasters    
       

       
I ran across a guitarist while I was out and about today. His name is Jesse Cook. They call his style gypsy. I really enjoy his groove. He might become my number one.
