As I started this post and now see it has resurfaced, I thought I would follow up. I now own all of Fourplay's discs, except their Christmas and Best of CD's. At this point they are easily my favorite group.
I should no better than get sucked into an argument, but it isn't the first time. The argument against smooth Jazz is a bit stupid to me as is to say it can't be used for "critical" listing, whatever is meant by "critical".
As Tireguy was stating, there are many, many forms of music, Smooth Jazz just happens to share the name as Jazz and for whatever reason, Jazz listeners can handle this. A little revealation, it's called Smooth Jazz, not Jazz, therefore they are not the same.
Is light rock not music because it's not rock? Everyone recognizes the difference.
Over the years I have tried Jazz, I just can't do it, maybe someday (when I grow up).
One could state the Symphony is the only serious music, etc.
