    Just listen to "Playing For The City" (aka Olivier Portal) tracks on Straight
    Up (and some other labels : Maine Recordings, La Rosière...).
    All his tracks are brilliant.
    Also try these artists and record labels :
    Kevin Yost (Guidance and I records)
    Next Evidence (Straight Up and Basic)
    Ron Trent (Giant Step, Nitegrooves)
    Julius Papp (Paper, Yellow, I records, Esho)
