Tiggi,
My Jazz journey hasn't been a linear path. I started out with Earl Klugh, then a little contemporary smooth jazz, then a lot of a few contemporary (not to be confused with smooth jazz) jazz artists like Joshua Redman and James Carter. I then took a serious sidetrack into classic Jazz, mostly the 60s but I also dabbled in the 50s and 70s. Eventually, I filled out my 80s-90s experience and am trying to round out my 2000s. All this has gone on for about the last dozen (no, make that more like 20) years or so -- I started a few years earlier officially, but 12-13 years ago was about the time I got serious in my exploration.
It's been a wild & fun (and expensive) ride, and I've loved every minute of it!
