📖 Genre Description
Smooth Jazz, also known as Pop Jazz, emerged in 1975 as a commercial and easy-listening offshoot of Fusion, focusing on radio-friendly, slick, and smooth sounds. Characterized by simple melodies and often featuring a saxophone, it gained popularity in the late seventies and early eighties for its unintentional erotic connotation. Despite criticism for being cheesy and predictable, Smooth Jazz remains popular for its easy-listening nature and is commonly used as background music in various settings.
