The smooth jazz station

a lady at my work listens to this all day. she's really really stupid.

How is it that Kenny G is so, so horrible and this album so, so wonderful, and yet they are both "smooth jazz?"

Man, I'm not on prescription drugs right now, but I'll tell you - when I do get prescribed percoset or demerol for something, smooth jazz always feels perfect.

They play smooth jazz in Penn Station and I FUCKING HATE WALKING FROM THE TRAIN TO THE SUBWAY BECAUSE OF IT.

Inspired to revive by the George Benson thread. But this thread has way more LOL.

rough times for smooth jazz

But oh oh just you wait

“That groove just sounds like the groove of smooth jazz,” Mr. Koz said of “Get Lucky,” that album’s lead single, which has sold more than a million copies. With a hope that may or may not have been forged by desperation, he added: “When I heard that record, I was like: ‘O.K., I don’t know how this happened. But it feels like the right time for this. It’s gaining momentum. We’re in the place that we should be.’ ”

lol Dave Koz otm

koz is otm, check out these smooth moves. daft punk can learn a thing or two from the master.

but seriously, we're in a weird period where smooth jazz has attained a certain ehhh ... hipness. steely dan worship, vaporwave, etc. maybe we'll see the smooth cruise move from the arts section to the style section soon. dave koz will get all the hipster pussy his reed-licking lips desires.

IDK, I think "hipster" smooth jazz appreciation is still kind of a province of record nerds and not really a broader thing.

Going from an ILE thread, I was looking up High Llamas' "Go to Montecito" and then looked up other songs with Montecito in the title, and subsequently found the smoothiest smooth-jazz number from 1994, right before The Year Smooth Jazz Broke.

Dig!

When the kids conceived to and raised by smooth jazz get to college, this is what happens.
