I have an uneasy relationship with smooth jazz. Sometimes I like the sound in an ambient white noise kind of way, but the style dips into schmaltz too often.

funny, smooth jazz is the reason i got interested in music in the first place! Growing up I used to watch The Weather Channel to listen to the music. LOL.

You need to be shot.

Here's some vintage discoish fusion. Great guitar player, but he had a nasty habit of singing on some of the songs :^D

Real music? What is real music?

Many will tell you that only Classical music falls into that category.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Everyone likes different shit.

To you, what you posted is real music. To me it's simply elevator music...but I'm not really a fan of Jazz (even though it's one of the most creative/hard to play music around).

See how that works?

ANY Music is REAL music.

Good to know lots of old school porn makers appreciate real music. I guess I do not, but if that is real music then I'll take the fake stuff, thanks.

even my friends who play jazz professionally dislike smooth jazz.

at least wiki offers some hope:

"Many industry insiders have speculated that the smooth jazz format may die out"

Do I take the elevator up or down?
I'm pretty sure Hell is down...

Yes, it is definitely dying out. Not much creativity left (though the same can be said about most music these days)

How about you change your title to those who appreciate music without lyrics, instead of making your own definition of real?

the OP music is fucking terrible. holy shit, i just clicked on the second link. what the hell is this, a backing track for an instructional video? i knew there were artists who wrote this kind of music, i thought they did it to pay the bills while pursuing their real interests. i figured no self respecting human could create this lard without some ulterior motive. i guess i was wrong. the world is a sad place.
