I found out about this jazz artist Gordon Goodwin. His band received numerous Emmy Awards and Grammy nominations, and his music was used in many Motion Pictures such as Incredibles. Goodwin and his band The Big Phat Band generate a high energy jazz that excites the listeners. Goodwins ability to combine jazz with any kind of music sets apart from other jazz band. He takes traditional big band music into contemporary compositions in genres of Latin, blues, classical, and even rock. You can learn more about him on his website www.gordongoodwin.com
