14. Smooth jazz is what you hear being played in fancy French boutiques during biz hours

Real jazz is what you hear being blasted in some shady, down-low club at 12:30 at night on a Thursday. Smooth jazz is what I play when your alone with someone special & your drinking cognac & lighting candles that you have no intention of putting out.
