Carlos Santana has spoken and shared many times in a way that seemed he was a Christian artist. I have read things he posted on FB and other places that lead me to believe that.

I am a Child of God who happens to write and compose jazz instrumentals. I also have a few pieces out with vocals as well. I call my music inspirational because that’s what it does...it inspires and it is relaxing. I am an independent artist and not
mainstream, but if you would
like to add me to your list, you can reach me through my website at brendacravenmelody.com. Thanks!

I like Chuck Mangione, just like lots of folks. But I think sometimes you guys are reaching, just to get names to fill out a list. Here are several competent Christian jazz artists I posted once before, who did not make any list, and are not a reach:
James Vincent
Fletch Wiley
James Ward
Jeff Johnson
Andrae Crouch
Bob & Pauline Wilson (and Seawind)
Phil Keaggy has done *some* jazz, and whenever he does it, it's all competent and all Christian.
I guess Phil Driscoll and Koinonia are on just about everybody's list.
And, for the benefit of those who have not looked into this one, the artist that IMPO is the finest Christian jazz artist today:

Paul Clark!!!!!

Most people write their lists with the best, obvious choices at the top, but Jesus said the first will be last, and here we see it. ;)
