soft jazz
Gentle improvised music
Soft jazz is a mellow, accessible style of jazz that emphasizes smooth melodies and relaxed tempos over complex improvisation or rhythmic intensity.
The term overlaps with smooth jazz but often suggests something gentler still—background music for restaurants, waiting rooms, or quiet evenings: They put on some soft jazz while dinner simmered.
