A mix of today's jazz artists playing great music and reviving it from the death-by-smooth-jazz status it was once at.

listening to your jazz mixes has refreshed my interest in the style and made me put a halt to playing my classical guitar repitoire to refresh my jazz pieces, great stuff

The very first number (Just Friends, by Wynton Marsalis) has already seduced me; so warm and cozy...like getting an internal psychic massage! Looking forward to the rest of this playlist...

Well, I'm now up to Manu Katch and his "November 99," and I am deeply grateful to be introduced to all of these contemporary jazzicians...all of whom have escaped the silvery, slippery, slick seduction of commercially-viable smooth jazz (as you pointed out in your playlist description). I'm indebted to you! Muchas gracias, arsy.
