No. I can’t stand it.

Smooth jazz is NOT jazz. There is no jazz improvisation. Jazz is about improvisation, living in the moment, revelation.

Smooth jazz harmonies are rarely complex like real jazz harmonies.

Smooth jazz virtually never swings like real jazz.

There is little blues influence in smooth jazz like there is in real jazz.,

Jazz has an African heritage and a storied history that goes from Ragtime to Dixieland to Stride Piano to Boogie-Woogie to Swing to Bop to Cool to Hard Bop to Free Form to Fusion to Latin, etc.

There is no historical perspective in smooth jazz. There is no use of the jazz standard repertoire.

Smooth jazz is NOT jazz.
