Sting’s very first solo album, The Dream of the Blue Turtles (1985), surprised fans by being built around a core of top U.S. jazz players (Branford Marsalis, Kenny Kirkland, Branford’s brother Wynton wasn’t on it but the Marsalis connection gave it a strong jazz cred) rather than rock session musicians.
