^ Yeah, it`s not the kind of music to blow your head off, is it, Il Duce ? But I find it`s nice for when I`m relaxing or doing the housework.

When do you guys listen to smooth jazz ?

I liked the Najee Breezy tracks, Anteater, thanks. You make a good point about smooth jazz needing something else in the mix to make it interesting. Maybe that point is actually illustrated by your Lonnie Liston Smith clips, which TBH, I found so smooth that my attention kept slipping off ! Sorry.

This clip is of Chico Hamilton, who is a pretty well-regarded jazz drummer, though to watch his performance here, you might wonder why. In his defence, we should consider his age : 87 years old if the Youtube comments are to be believed !
