I would be interested to know if jibguy agrees with the statement above.  It
does seem that Smooth Jazz fills the same niche as beautiful music:
non-offensive, background music.  On the other hand, the statement still
doesn't ring true to me.  I thought traditional Beautiful Music was aimed at
an older audience, while Smooth Jazz is seeking a younger, hipper, urban
audience.
