smooth jazz is pretty much water down jazz. it's fine. it does what it needs to do for those who like it. but for any pure jazz fundamentalist, it's the pure destruction of the essence of jazz music.
the saying is true, "you have to go to jazz, it doesn't come to you".
it's not easily understood or attainable in the sense of reconizing what's happening. it's inner speaking of the human soul, especially those of the afro-americans... a deeper step into their world.
overall, it's also just entertainment and music. but to others, it means more.
smooth jazz is fine. but it has no power like pure jazz. the raw energy, the struggle behind it, the hours of dedication put into the practice that makes it seem so effortless.
can't fuck with that.
