He quickly went on to become Sarah Vaughan's piano accompanist but during this same period he started breaking ground in the world of electronic music by combining (then) new computer technology with jazz. While his releases from the 1960s were critically well received, in the early '70s, James cut a series fusion albums on which he usually played the Rhodes, Clavinet or other electric keyboards. The albums One, Two, and Three combined solid jazz musicianship, with a breezy funk vibe and clever easy listening arrangements. While they were considered jazz sellouts at the time of release, these discs have aged very well and often show up as hip-hop and electronica samples. By the late 1970's, James was one the top-selling artists in jazz when his melancholy theme song and incidental music for the excellent sitcom Taxi brought his music to a whole new audience. James has become more and more mainstream as the decades have progressed but that partly stems from the fact that he helped create the sonic template and textures for smooth jazz. James currently divides most of his time between cutting very commercial instrumentals and R&B heavy smooth jazz (often with his all-star band Fourplay) but he still keeps his hand in the acoustic jazz world. His superb 1996 release Straight Up proved that his more exploratory albums can actually sell just as well as his more commercial products. Besides his soundtrack work on Taxi, James has also recorded film scores for director Sidney Lumet. - Nick Dedina]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2642&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss Jazz Instrumental Pop Wed, 4 Nov 2009 12:14:33 -0800 Top Jazz Instrumental Pop Artists on Rhapsody Online art.2642 art.2642 David Benoit art.2642 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2642&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2642&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss Peanuts cartoon specials. - Nick Dedina]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1412&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss Smooth Jazz Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:13:26 -0800 Top Jazz Instrumental Pop Artists on Rhapsody Online art.1412 art.1412 Najee art.1412 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1412&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1412&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss Najee's Theme and has stuck closely to it ever since. His recordings are full-scale productions, employing large casts of drum programmers, vocalists, and keyboardists to back up his vapory soprano sax and flute melodies. His 1995 recording Songs From the Key of Life was something of an exception, as it added a little more muscle as well as a few touches of improvisation and some relatively creative string and horn arrangements. In general though, he likes to keep things smooth, polished and predictable, and that's why he's sold so many records over the years. - Will York]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.59168&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss Contemporary Instrumental Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:29:17 -0700 Top Jazz Instrumental Pop Artists on Rhapsody Online art.59168 art.59168 Keiko Matsui art.59168 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.59168&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.59168&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss Deep Blue, which topped the contemporary jazz charts and also scored with pop audiences.

Miriam Makeba, his former wife, then helped him make the move to New York, introducing him to Harry Belafonte and Dizzy Gillespie. Masekela made a splash in the mid-'60s, but it wasn't until 1968's Promise of a Future that he had a monster hit with "Grazing in the Grass." Though known for pop-oriented work, his trumpet-playing ranks among the best of the 20th century. (He's no slouch as a singer, either.) Masekela went on to explore Nigerian music, Afrobeat and traditional South African music, and he worked on the musical Sarafina with Mbongeni Ngema. He returned to South Africa after Nelson Mandela's release and has lived and recorded there since. - Sarah Bardeen]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.50040&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss Jazz Instrumental Pop Sun, 2 Aug 2009 08:58:42 -0700 Top Jazz Instrumental Pop Artists on Rhapsody Online art.50040 art.50040 Chieli Minucci art.50040 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.50040&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.50040&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16837&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss Smooth Jazz Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:34:30 -0700 Top Jazz Instrumental Pop Artists on Rhapsody Online art.16837 art.16837 Dominic Miller art.16837 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16837&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16837&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.30657&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss Jazz Instrumental Pop Sun, 17 May 2009 08:58:34 -0700 Top Jazz Instrumental Pop Artists on Rhapsody Online art.30657 art.30657 Joe Sherbanee art.30657 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.30657&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.30657&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16274&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss Jazz Instrumental Pop Mon, 1 Jun 2009 08:30:21 -0700 Top Jazz Instrumental Pop Artists on Rhapsody Online art.16274 art.16274 Tom Grant art.16274 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16274&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16274&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.49648&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss Jazz Instrumental Pop Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:13:30 -0700 Top Jazz Instrumental Pop Artists on Rhapsody Online art.49648 art.49648 Bob Mamet art.49648 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.49648&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.49648&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.28877&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss Jazz Instrumental Pop Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:24:04 -0700 Top Jazz Instrumental Pop Artists on Rhapsody Online art.28877 art.28877 Kim Pensyl art.28877 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.28877&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.28877&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fpop-jazz%2Fjazz-instrumental-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss Pensyl Sketches series from the late 1980s.
