You'll also find new age music in the "jazz" section. According to the
marketing powers that be, all instrumental music (apart from classical) is
jazz. Totally ridiculous and intellectually lazy to boot. Instead of relying
on record/CD stores to categorize what jazz is, why don't you pick up a few
books on the subject, since your ears obviously are unable to distinguish the
difference? You won't see any of these so-called "smooth jazz" clowns
mentioned. You might also learn something about a subject you obviously know
nothing about.
