When I think of Smooth Jazz, I definitely think of Kenny G, or "elevator music". I would consider it as kind of an entry level sub-genre. Technically, it is a branch of jazz, along with its roots of Ragtime and Dixieland. Personally, I believe the gems of jazz were Big-Band Swing and Bebop. It has definitely branched out though (not that it's a bad thing).
