The first time I remember hearing Jay Leonhart was about 1982, I think he was recording for "dmp". I have his album "Salamander Pie" All of his music was light hearted like the link we just listened to. There are about 5 or 6 videos on YouTube that I found.

The link to Jay Leonhart sparked my memoy to "Flim & the BB's"

who also recorded for "DMP" (Digital Music Products) the first digital label (I think)

 

Here is some interesting info from: Widipedia

 

"Flim & the BB's are a contemporary jazz band that formed in the late seventies and are the first jazz band to appear on compact disc. The band's name comes from the nickname of Jimmy Johnson (bassist) and the initials of the other two members, Bill Berg and Billy Barber (musician) (Dick Oatts, a woodwind player, would join the group in 1984.) They are most notable for the 90's theme song to the American soap opera All My Children and for making one of the first all-digital recordings in 1978 (though the prototype machine which was used was the only machine able to read the master tape.) The band, with Johnson's pioneering five-string bass from Alembic, went on to create five critically acclaimed albums for DMP Records before signing with Warner Bros. Records Their albums Tricycle, Tunnel, and Big Notes all won Digital Audio's "Jazz CD of The Year" award."

 

There is a great Video with Jimmy Johnson taking a neat solo, I'll try to find it.

I have it on a Lazer Disc, but I'm not sure my player still works, I havn't had it hooked up in 15years.
