Looking for some good blues and contemporary blues and contemporary jazz. Thanks for the help.

I agree the term contemporary is kind of a misnomer, but Pat Metheny, Lee Ritenour, Larry Carlton, Yellowjackets, all come to mind, none of which I really consider "smooth" jazz (though it's a fine line). |
