Artists
Corduroy
The acid jazz outfit Corduroy assembled singer / keyboardist Scott Addison, his drummer brother Ben, guitarist Simon Nelson-Smith, and bassist Richard Searle.
Count Basic
Founded in the early 90's Count Basic has become one of the representatives of the so called acid jazz scene along with bands such as Galliano, The Brand New Heavies, The Young Disciples or Incognito.
Courtney Pine
Courtney Pine is perhaps the most enigmatic of late 20th century British jazzmen; he has consistently fascinated and frustrated critics with a restless and adventurous musical vision that has brought world music, pop, reggae, electronica, funk, and soul to sit in with the jazz tradition on his recordings.
Cunnie Williams
Cunnie Williams was born in 1963 in Los Angeles. When he was young, he played basketball, but he turned to music, when he lived in Hannover, Germany.
Curtis Mayfield
Perhaps because he didn't cross over to the pop audience as heavily as Motown's stars, it may be that the scope of Curtis Mayfield's talents and contributions have yet to be fully recognized.
Dave Weckl
Dave Weckl is one of fusion's most acclaimed drummers, making his name during a six-year-stint with Chick Corea. Weckl was born in St. Louis and grew up listening to soul and jazz; he received his first drum set at age eight and developed his playing by listening to drummers like Buddy Rich, as well as R&B grooves.
David Sanborn
David Sanborn is among the most commercially successful saxophonists to emerge from the 1970s. Though a self-professed jazz musician, he has consistently subverted and transcended genres.
De-Phazz
De-Phazz was founded by Pit Baumgartner as an "open-band-concept" in 1997. The band was formed by the musicians who participated in the Detunized Gravity album: Karl Frierson, Barbara Lahr and Otto Engelhard.
