Also sometimes known as cool jazz or light jazz, smooth jazz is the most popular name for a sub-genre characterized by insistent rhythmic patterns, especially lighter disco and Latin dance beats, and the use of synthesizers and sophisticated production techniques. Smooth jazz sells more recordings than any other type of jazz. Well-known artists include saxophonists Kenny G and David Sanborn, guitarist George Benson, and vocalist Sade.
| For title, use the band's actual name, or for individuals, use the Lastname, Firstname format. Categories like this attract hundreds of submissions, but many should be submitted to an Arts_and_Entertainment Regional/ sub-category instead. Editors generally give priority to submissions with factual descriptions that are free of hype, avoiding Unnecessary Capitalization and the use of exclamation marks. Compare existing listings for best results. |
For performers and groups strongly identified with the smooth jazz style. This category may also contain links to appropriate artists already listed at Arts/Music/Bands and Artists or at Arts/Music/Jazz/Bands and Artists.
