	I did not recognize any of them. The top one is a somewhat unique because there is a violin player. The violinist does not sound like Ponty or Goodman, possibly it is Noel Pointer or another 80s violinist, but it did not sound like the violinist was the leader of the group. Also, the guitar player on the first one was pretty good, possibly he is well known.

	Were all these songs on a cassette? If so, did the cassette have any writing on it at all?

	They were recorded off of a radio show from around 1986-1988.

	Radio stations are required by law to keep a log of the music they play, but I don't know how far back they keep those records, plus you would need the date of the broadcast.

	It did have some writing on songs we knew, but some songs were recorded without any comments from the DJ. They are labeled 'unknown song' or 'jazz keyboardist'.
