What is Smooth Jazz all about?

[Dougie Brootal]

<p>I have a neighbor whose teen son is into some kind of noise called smooth jazz. I hear him blasting it from his car, and the so called&nbsp;clarinet playing&nbsp;cracks me up. Is it a gay thing? I never see him hanging with any chicks? Can comeone please tell me what's the story with this awful noise? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>(i know, i know, i just love that the whole beginning of this guys thread has become a template. one more post for me!!)</p>

Smooth Jazz is jazz for dummies.

<p>THe Baby Boomers were too cool to listen to Muzak, or elevator music, so they came up with &quot;Smooth Jazz&quot;. Where they take classic jazz songs and suck every bit of life out of them until they become acceptable to play in any office environment. </p><p>THere are some good artists, like any genre. George Benson is great. I love Sade. Grover Washington had his moments. But its basically Jazz instrumental done in the pop framework. Hook, bridge, solo, repeat. </p><p>Its OK as an intro to jazz music, but get to the real stuff (Miles/Coltrane/Monk/Art Blakey) as soon as you can. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
