Tracklist
Dave Koz
Smooth jazz saxophonist Dave Koz is well known not just for his easy-going style but for his presence in multiple media outlets. He not only is a successful recording artist--releasing albums at regular intervals since 1990--but also has been a popular jazz DJ on several radio programs, and has played in on-set bands for TV shows. He gained additional exposure as a sideman for other pop and light jazz stars such as Jim Brickman.
Leo Kottke
Along with John Fahey and Robbie Basho, Leo Kottke was one of the most influential acoustic fingerstyle guitarists to appear in the 1960s. His unusual harmonies and death-defying picking patterns forged a unique, distinctive style that was often imitated. Eventually, Kottke expanded beyond the guitar-hero role by developing into an agreeably quirky singer-songwriter in the 1980s and '90s, but his '70s instrumental recordings remain key items in the world of contemporary acoustic guitar music.
Stevie Nicks
Possessed of a raspy croon and mystical songwriting bent, L.A. troubadour Stevie Nicks had a duo with Lindsey Buckingham in the early 1970s, releasing an excellent folk-pop album as Buckingham Nicks before the pair were absorbed into veteran UK group Fleetwood Mac. Nicks and Buckingham's talents helped steer the band to superstardom via the enormous hit albums RUMOURS and FLEETWOOD MAC. Nicks ventured out on her own in the '80s, scoring numerous hit singles and ultimately leaving the band. In the late '90s, however, she reunited with her Fleetwood friends, who began performing and recording with renewed vigor.
