Smooth Jazz

Smooth Jazz is a genre of jazz music that emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is a combination of jazz, R&B, pop, and funk influences, with a relaxed and often dreamy atmosphere. Smooth Jazz is known for its mellow, mellifluous melodies, lush textures, and mid-tempo grooves. Its roots can be traced back to the 1950s and 1960s when musicians began blending traditional jazz sounds with elements of soul, funk, and pop. In the 1980s, Smooth Jazz radio stations began to emerge, and the genre became increasingly popular with audiences. Smooth Jazz has since become a popular choice for background music in films, television shows, and commercials.
