why don't you try his album "Finger Paintings"

If were talking about study i believe the music needs to be interesting enough in the background that it can be played over and over again to keep you awake but soft enough not to get in the way by being a distraction. Since I do on the average about 15 hours of study per week i usually use the following selections which have no vocals and no horns. ( Except for a few selections on the (Michel Colombier “ Old fool back on earth) Double album.

Horns like vocals grab your attention and for study you don't want that. If you have iTunes i believe you can preview some of these CD's. Let me know what you think.

Michel Colombier “ Old fool back on earth
Andreas Vollenweider (Caverna Magica Under the Tree)
Ramsey Lewis Maiden Voyage
Ramsey Lewis Ivory Pryamid
Ramsey lewis Sky Island

Get yourself a Django Reinhardt CD.

Damn, JV...I didn't think anyone else had ever heard of/heard
"Jango's" guitar stuff! :thumbup:

I am a huge fan of his, even moreso after I learned that his fret hand was severely burned and he basically plays with his index and middle fingers. Amazing talent who revolutionized the role of the guitar in a band.

Another one who fits in that catagory. is Stanley Jordan. http://www.google.com/musica?aid=Lc3...usic&ct=result

Yes Sir, a remarkable talent, if a tad wacked...
I like his music in smallish doses.

Not surprised, really, that you knew of his music,
as you were/are in theBiz.

This board has a fookin remarkable, vast pool of knowledgeable
posters, info and ideas. :thumbup:
