Jonathan Butler

Active decade: 80s - 90s
Born in Capetown, South Africa
Genre - JAZZ

A South African expatriate, Butler grew up in England and has become a successful R&B/fusion performer with a slight debt to jazz. His first work (an album showcasing his guitar skills) got Butler notice, but his most recent releases have featured him doing slick, heavily produced urban contemporary ballads and dance tunes, as well as an occasional protest song.
