Artists
Average White Band
Their self-effacing name to the contrary, Average White Band was anything but — one of the few white groups to cross the color line and achieve success and credibility playing funk, with their tight, fiery sound also belying their Scottish heritage, evoking American R&B hotbeds like Detroit, Memphis, and Philadelphia instead.
Baby Mammoth
The duo of Mark Blissenden and Andrew Burdall specialize in earthy breaks and ambient atmospheres, more slanted to the instrumental edge of acid jazz than other producer-based trip-hop acts.
Beady Belle
Beady Belle is a result of collaboration between Beate S. Lech and Marius Reksjø which began at the University of Oslo.
Billy Cobham
Generally acclaimed as fusion's greatest drummer, Billy Cobham's explosive technique powered some of the genre's most important early recordings before he became an accomplished bandleader in his own right.
Black & Brown
Legendary IRMA act Black & Brown, headed by Picchio Bagnoli and Andrea Raffini have been around for nearly 20 years and are known as the most prestigious funk band in Italy.
Blue Knights
The music of Blue Knights thrives on rhythms and a very jazz influenced groove-piano. Amazing production, rich sounds and some very tight arranging and playing will capture all fun loving music gourmets.
Bobby McFerrin
Vocal virtuoso Bobby McFerrin ranks among the most distinctive and original singers in contemporary music — equally adept in jazz, pop, and classical settings.
Bossa Nostra
Bossa Nostra is a band composed of master Italian musicians that has launched jazz music into a new orbit.
