Little known jazz artists

In the world of Jazz, and for that matter, music in general, it is very hard to make a name for yourself. This is where I step in...

Jazz

• Rick Latham and the Groove Doctors
  This amazing band has a smooth sound, with saxophones, piano, guitar, bass, and bebopping vocals. Some of my favorites of theirs:
  1. Bonnie's Song
  2. Slinky
  3. Lucky Seven
• Da Brayne
  This musician is an amazingly talented saxophone player. Such a funky groove beat you can jive to.
  1. How 'Bout a Little Sax Baby?
  2. Untitled 2 - Cool Bass Groove
• Geoff Mattoon
  A beautiful musician with low funky basslines, a great saxophone lead, great vocals, and the occasional funky guitar chorus. A true Jazz great.
  1. Paradise *****
• Blue Train
  This band is very funky. My favorite song begins with a high-wind instrument, perhaps flute, playing a mysterious jazzy tune with pumping drums and bassline in the background. Later in the song, a very talented keyboard wiggles it's way in, followed by bongo drums.
  1. Zaire

Latin-Jazz

• Steve Laury
  This artist has groovy basslines and gained guitar leads. Backed by latin drum styles and keyboard, this pulls this great band together for an unheard sound.
  1. Es Muy Caliente
  2. When Dreams Come True
• Daniel Cox
  This artist barely fits into this category. With latin beats, and lightning-fast acoustic guitar, this is a great addition to any guitar collection.
  1. Flamenco
  2. Exotica
  3. Into Rhythm

So please enjoy, and make a name for these amazing and unheard artists.
