I am of the view that discrete to know or learn something about jazz music is very difficult to recommend where to start. So if someone asked me who would like to delve into the sounds of this style to not start hating on the first day, would recommend this artist. Is Chuck Mangione. His musical career started very late 60's and ends well into the 80's. I would say that makes a simple jazz style, initially, to understand, the "smooth jazz", the literal translation would be "smooth jazz", but to understand each other better, as it was called in English-speaking environments, new music contemporary adult. Well anyway, call it what you call it, is one way, easy to understand jazz, going into his ways, not expect great bass solos, black regular sounds with sax, drums and all that atmosphere of club jazz of the 50's in USA. NO jazz need not be only that, it can be a more open style, initially, sounds closer to "funk" quality from the United States, and artists who develop a quality very careful in his compositions. This is one of those artists that we are tired of hearing some of his compositions, not knowing who he was or who never have guessed that the sound is jazz of the 70's and such interpretations are precursors of later styles that has significantly influenced the dance floor, but especially in music that people now many radio stations. Chuck Mangione, there is nothing different on the internet than their short and brief biography that so perfectly sums WIKIPEDIA, as usual in my recommendations. Enjoy good sounds 
turns out that I get to do my routine investigation on the disc and / or the group concerned and me meeting, on the one hand it is I would say, much more limited, information about them and the second and more interesting to me is that the band here you have available today, is one of the icons of music for gay scene. NI I imagined it. Well yes, who recently perished (I speak of last February or March), a prestigious Australia website has published a list of songs that are and have been "icons" of music, "gay", I refer specifically to the least 2 of the songs on this album, obviously the one hand, the song "relax" and the arch-known "the power of love" subject that every Christmas, playing in every radio and television station, evoking your video, visit The Magi from the East to the "Baby Jesus." GO, GO, GO!. As I said the famous song "Pedro Navaja" "Life gives you surprises, surprises come life, oh God ..." You will not find anything more delicious than what I have told you, the internet, but always well WIKIPEDIA walk around to see what the band have for Holly Johnson and Paul Rutherford
