Smooth Jazz is like Valium.  The term of course is the opposite of 
hard jazz which many jazz musicians played.  One of the kings of 
Smooth Jazz is Kenny G who back in the '70's used to sneak into the 
DoubleTree Inn in Renton (near Seattle) as a high school kid to listen 
to the jazz trio I played in.

Much of this style of music started out as fusion jazz back in the 
70's with Creed Taylor, Deodato, etc. who did a commercialized version 
of jazz with some RB influence.  Prior to that if you had sprung the 
13th, 11th and sharp 9th chords sprinkled throughout the smooth jazz 
of today you would have been accused of playing dischords to which the 
witty musician would usually reply which chord?  Dis chord or dat chord?

BTW, Valium is based on the chemical structure of valerian root or 
jatamansi (the Indian variety).
