VA - 40 Smooth As Butter Jazz Tracks (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2






















SMOOTH JAZZ


Smooth Jazz is an outgrowth of fusion, one that emphasizes its polished side. Generally, smooth jazz relies on rhythms and grooves instead of improvisation. There are often layers of synthesizers, lite-funk rhythms, lite-funk bass, elastic guitars, and either trumpets, alto, or soprano saxophones. The music isn't cerebral, like hard bop, nor is it gritty and funky like soul-jazz or groove -- it is unobtrusive, slick, and highly polished, where the overall sound matters more than the individual parts. Blah blah blah... and blahhhh.

"Smooth As Butter Jazz Tracks" is filled with the smoothest jazz sounds that I put on whenever I am chilling out. I have included tracks where you can drift away with or simply be transported to another peace of mind. Typically you would not find vocals on such an album but I have included a few vocal tracks here because thay move me and because they are so smooth... I hope you like the mix of flavours and tastes of these beauties.
