Smooth Jazz Freak needs New Artists

I listen to a lot of Smooth Jazz/New Age (not the meditational or nature sounds type, but closer to Smooth Jazz sound) music.

I'm very narrow in casual listening preferences. Some names I have: Craig Chaquaco, Rippingtons, 3rd Force, Acoustic Alchemy, Larry Carlton, Spyro Gyra, Norman Brown, Boney James, Paul Taylor, Dave Sanborn, David Benoit, Euge Groove, etc. I enjoy almost any instrumentation played in a smooth jazz format.

Anyone got some hot new artists to recommend? (BTW, I DID a search for "smooth jazz" on the site here and not a single reference! So, maybe this can pump up the archive a bit for us poor boring listeners. :)

Instinct Records has a variety of cd compilations called Smooth Jazz Vol.1,2 etc. that seem to be right up your alley, especially since the artist featured are out of the "mainstream" of smooth jazz.
Instinct calls it part of their Instinct Jazz releases.
Instinct originally got its start pioneering acid jazz here in the states. If you're really looking for something a bit different, in the downtempo genre, try their After Hours compilations. Great stuff!
