I'm not sure what you define as smooth jazz. I know Wes Montgomery recorded a lot of fully orchestrated elevator music but he still had some killer solos that took it to another level. I much prefer the smaller trio/ quartet stuff but you would be missing out to avoid anything with an orchestral backing.
