Is Lite jazz the same as smooth jazz? Man, I have to listen to a lotta that smooth shit at my place of work, and try-as-I-might, I find this stuff almost impossible to get to grips w/ - it is SO formulaic, mechanised, substance-free, it just vanishes into the air.

The Marcus Miller-made Miles albs are like the arse-end of fusion, more than smooth/lite, I'd say - the tone of the trumpet is still a bit too vinegar to be 'mellow' enough for smooth (even on the pop tune covers), the bass is too upfront, and some of the supporting musicians - Kenny Garrett, Bob Berg, Al Foster, John Scofield, even M. Miller - are still playing mainstream-straightahead jazz licks.
This thread gives me the impression that not too many ILMers have been exposed to the full horrors of modern smooth jazz mung - yr Brian Culbertsons and Acoustic Alchemys and Kirk Whalums and Dave Kozs and Jeff Lorber and Chuck Loeb and on and on. There's a REAL gap in the rockwrite market on this type of stuff - no kind of crit guide, no canon, not in print anyway

Chick Corea's Elektrik Band has the smooth jazz sound while still playing some crazy shit. I still hate it.
I still don't have any of Miles' 80s studio albums, but I absolutely love Live Around the World. It has the raw edges and interplay that is lacking in what I've heard of the studio stuff (what is that record where he's got a machine gun on the cover? god that one's aweful).
David Sanborn...I don't have any of his own records, but I gotta give the guy some respect. I just heard some story about him playing with some avant garde guys that you never would have expected, and it seems that most jazz musicians speak pretty highly of him. He plays on this great Larry Goldings record along with Joshua Redman and Maceo and totally holds his own, and he did play with James Brown and John McLaughlin.

Yeah, the kind of prog-fusion-lite jazz churned by tedious chopmeisters like Corea, Allan Holdsworth, Dave Weckl, Vinnie Colliauta and assorted Zappolytes is prob. even more intolerable than the smoothest smoothy shit. I blame Jaco!

George Benson's stuff *is* heavyweight lite-jazz. He does Beaeatles songs (yeah, straight through the 90s) that work wonders on the whooping cough, so I'm inclined to promote him too. He comes up with some startling arpeggio-blurs that seem more beboppy in their attack than lite-jazzy, but I'm willing to slap the lite label on him.
Saxophonist Bobby Watson is NOT lite jazz as a soloist (he's the meaty volcano that erupts viciously on most Jazz Messengers albums in the early-mid 80s), but his actual COMPOSITIONS (on Love Remains and Appointment in Milano, at least) are balmy, muted, and plastic. That said, he's my hero.

"Hello,
I had the great pleasure of meeting David Sanbornyesterday, and I asked him about the possibilty of hisNight Music TV programs being released on DVD.
He said that the ownership of the episodes belongsjointly to himself, Lorne Michaels and a third party. Sanborn loved Night Music, would love to see it issuedon DVD, and has approached Lorne Michaels with theidea. Apparently Lorne feels that he never reallyre-couped his investment in the series and, inessence, is still owed money, and this has been amajor roadblock in getting Night Music re-released. David said that he doubts that Lorne could have lostmuch on the venture, and that it's unfortunate thatthis is what's preventing a lot of great music frombeing heard and seen.
Regards,
Paul"
