I don't know nothings about smooth jazz, but its never been something I've had the desire to investigate. I'll watch those videos provided in the opening post when I have the time.
Having said that...a smooth jazz atmosphere used occasionally amoungst other things could work nicely.

Right. I agree. This kind of music is very appropriate for those cases. |

It can be a great music for parties and a relaxed atmosphere.

Smooth jazz has its good artists and albums too. I suppose you could call Miles' "Amandala' smooth jazz, but its a great album.
Have you checked out our Post Fusion Contemporary genre here at JMA, thats where artists who blend fusion and Post Bop with a smooth jazz sensibility go.

Being new here I wasn't sure where this discussion should go so moderators please feel free to move to more appropriate location. The 'S' word I refer to is "smooth" as in smooth jazz (aka loosely c-jazz or contemporary jazz). A sub genre of jazz where I've seen some raging debates. I personally love it (the good stuff that is). As with one of the negative comments it can be considered warmed over sax-dribble. But in other cases there are some great displays of musicianship and virtuosity. Also there seems to be some good diversity (although slowing down some) in what's available. Some of my favorites the great Rippingtons, Special Efx (w\Chieli Minucci) , David Beniot, Dave Grusin, the late George Howard, others. So what say you.
