Smooth Jazz is simply the current evolution of the ever changing style of Jazz, just as much as Big Band, Be-Bop, Swing, Avant-Garde, and Fusion.I'm concerned that Jazz appreciation in the US is toast. People think Jazz is smooth jazz. I struggle to meet Gen Y women who can stand it. Should I get over it, or is there a great tragedy in the loss of all-american jazz appreciation?
I go with EDM, which was banned from using more than these three characters because there's such a huge talent vacuum.No that's rapJazz is the last refuge of the untalented.

I'm racist toward smooth jazz. This is exceptional what you posted. I'd try to call it fusion to avoid associating it with the easy-listening basic-beat with synth and sax guy that smooth seems like to me.
Please, more from your crates!
Noted a couple of Big Band videos in there. Considered much different than jazz as the latter basically refers to small combos, normally trios.
There is a rather strict structure to jazz in that it needs a combined intro, individual riffs, and a combined coda. That's the big secret. If you can't handle a great solo, you got not place in a jazz combo.
Of interest, a lot of great jazz musicians were trained/knew classical music as well as Big Band.
One of my all-time favorites:
How about if we substitute an organ for the synth?I'd try to call it fusion to avoid associating it with the easy-listening basic-beat with synth and sax guy that smooth seems like to me.

This is, by far, one of the stupist posts I've ever read.
A real jazz musician needs skills that cross a wide range of music genres to truly be good.

I play drums and I have no problem with the percussion as long as the rhythm works in harmony with the melody no matter what style or type of music it is, Folk, Rock, Jazz, Classical, Blues, etc.I struggle to dig that, but it's good musicianship. I think this narrows it down to basic beat. A lot of these bands have big aux percussion, but the beat has no jazz in it. It's like instrumental soul.
I file Alphonse Mouzon in Funk or Jazz/Funk. Not suitable for confined areas like an elevator.I play drums and I have no problem with the percussion as long as the rhythm works in harmony with the melody no matter what style or type of music it is, Folk, Rock, Jazz, Classical, Blues, etc.I struggle to dig that, but it's good musicianship.
