With the incredible compilation you've put together, it's easy for readers (like me) to miss a few. So, I apologize if I missed this one. The great jazz flutist Hubert Laws brother Ronnie Laws has several fine jazz-funk releasees of his own worth a listen.

^ Thanks! You'll be glad to hear Ronnie Laws is already listed here under the letter "R" on Page 6 of this blog and when it comes to Jazz-Funk, Ronnie Laws is the LAW! I love the vocal version of "Always There" too by Incognito featuring Jocelyn Brown.

A-Z Playlist of Smooth Jazz, Jazz-Funk & Jazz Fusion
Starting with guitar legend Allan Holdsworth (1946-2017). He's played with some of the biggest names in Jazz Rock/Fusion, most notably Soft Machine, Pierre Moerlen's Gong, short-lived supergroup U.K. & last but least 'Igginbottom (Who?) amongst many others. Allan Holdsworth has his own distinctive and instantly recognisable guitar style, which includes a vast array of complex chord progressions, such as diminished, augmented, chromatic and altered scales - and if that makes any sense at all to you, then you know far more about music theory than I do. As you can probably gather from my low ratings*, the appeal of Jazz Fusion to me is diminished, just like some of Allan Holdsworth's chord progressions. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() * With apologies to Grumpy for the low ratings.

Two Jazz Fusion drummers to add from George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic family.

^ That was quite a coincidence! I was searching for a documentary on Al Jarreau just before clicking on this blog.

^ I'm glad you mentioned Al Jarreau. You just reminded me that I have 110 Soul-Jazz artists to add to the listings, including Al Jarreau. I'll probably have to do some Moonlighting to find the time to add them all though.

Good Mornin'. I've been Breakin' Away from prog for awhile and doing a spot of Moonlighting on the side to complete Al Jarreau's long discography, which reminds me, I'll have some Dukey Treats coming up here later. In fact, Al Jarreau & George Duke sound So Good together that it's surely a match made in Smooth Jazz-Funk Heaven.

How are you doing, Funky Paul? And curiously enough, you're talking here about "modest CD Jazz collection", as I've been thinking about a couple of threads both concerning my CD and the entire Jazz collection, and both of the latter ones are truely modest. ![]() |

My Jazz CD collection is listed about halfway down Page 6 of this blog, although the list doesn't include around thirty 2-CD compilations.

I've had look at it, and can tell you that our Jazz collections are very complementary. ![]() |

And to complement this blog, it's been a Lovely Day recently for adding 110 additional Soul-Jazz artists (listed above), including Bill Withers. ![]() I've only listened to one Soul-Jazz artist so far (Al Jarreau), but at least it's a start.
