text: They are "smooth jazz" stations, not really jazz. "Smooth jazz" is the latest trend in jazz programming. They include mellow jazz people like Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour, Fourplay, Kenny G, etc along with mellow adult contemporary singers like Steely Dan, Sting, Sade, Norah Jones, yes Celine Dion, and people like that. A lot of times these singers have jazz elements. Of these people listed, Steely Dan, Sade, and Norah Jones certainly have elements of jazz.
