Recommendation On Contemporary Jazz? Any David Benoit fans?

[ryder]

Any David Benoit fans here? I have two of his books, Anthopology and Professional Dreamer. I absolutely love his pieces especially "Kei's Song" and a few others.

Any other recommendations on music of similiar styles? I also love piano pieces by one Japanese pianist, Yukie Nishimura. I have one of her CD produced by Yamaha and thought her music was quite good. I was searching for her books throughout these years but cannot seem to find them anywhere in the shops or at any online music stores here on the internet. Everytime I use the search function it will end up with zero results. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
