My ex, a wonderful piano player, turned me on to Jazz, especially Jazz Fusion. I don't know tons, but some artists I really like are Tom Scott and Najee, both sax players. I've heard some say that Najee is a Kenny G imitator, but that is FAR from the truth. All Kenny ever did was play the scales. A good Najee album is Tokyo Blue, particularly the songs "Talkin'" and "Cruise Control."

I was lucky enough to see both artists live. Tom Scott had the band out there for warmup and my ex and I about fell off our seats. We're like "Warmup? Hell, that could be all there was and I'd be thrilled to pieces."
