apparently smooth jazz of today isn't played all over the world like I thought,but that doesn't mean my post was bad. maybe some have never heard of smooth jazz although it is now major and is getting popular on the radio. but don't make me feel like an idiot! heck if you don't know about it educate yourself first and then post. why post to attack like I made up smooth jazz because I am at home twiddling my thumbs? then the thread goes all over the place. and no one knows what is going on. besides miles davis and thelonius and others are dead. how can those vets come back? the ones who are still around don't do very much. I mean come ooooonn.

secondly,that is why I didn't want to go back to the days of miles and thelonious and only mentioned the eighties and listed artists from that jazz time. I couldn't see how there was confusion.just also acknowledging at the same time that at least with jazz you can go to a concert and hear a live band, complete with band members, which almost cannot be done in r&b unless there is a tour band that goes on the road with the artist. smooth jazz has nothing to do with straight ahead, miles (love the lp covers that I saw though), thelonious, lonnie smith. that is a whole different kind of jazz and another topic.


prince.org is known for talking about funk and live bands and I just thought about smooth jazz and made a subject out of it about those few things.
I don't get it people talk about different types of r&b and have no problem with it. FRom funk, to r&b, to neo soul to erica badu, those are all different

the same with jazz. sorry I am editing
