Raul Midon
It’s hard to accurately describe Raul Midon, but it’s not hard to tell after watching a short video of him on Letterman– he’s absolutely talented. He has a mix of soul, R&B, jazz, classic acoustic guitar (which I’m a huge fan of), and great sense of humor–with some unique improvisation. His album was just recently released and is called State Of Mind, and features a track with Jason Mraz, as well as Stevie Wonder. Watch this video, and wait until the “trumpet” comes in. It’s refreshing to see talent like this.
