Smooth jazz is a sub-genre of jazz which is heavily influenced by R&B, funk, rock, and pop music styles (separately, or, in any combination). Beginning in the early-1970s, jazz fusion (a.k.a., "fusion") was a movement by some jazz musicians to merge the instrumental virtuosity and improvisation of traditional jazz, with a modern, electronic sensibility. The instrument that has become the most widely-associated with this genre is the soprano saxophone, inspired by players like: Grover Washington, Jr.; Ronnie Laws; Wayne Shorter; and Nathan Davis; plus, a gentle, legato electric guitar (influenced by players like Wes Montgomery and Grant Green). Jazz fusion ensembles such as Spyro Gyra, Weather Report, Hiroshima, and Bob James' Fourplay were vital to the development of the genre.
