Smooth Jazz

R&B and funk influenced jazz that is usually considered a very "poppy" and commercial form
of the genre. Usually very downtempo and mellow, and features prominent bass. Almost
always instrumental. Melodies are usually made with saxophones, but may also include
trumpets, guitars, clarinets or oboes. Synthesizers and electronic drums are very common.
Improvisation, one of the defining elements of jazz, has little or no place in this style.
