Ни один автомобилист не застрахован от неприятных ситуаций. Но сердитый гаишник, пробитое колесо или километровая пробка –далеко не самое страшное, что может случиться за рулём. Давайте посмотрим на самые эпичные автомобильные фейлы. Всё-таки не стоит пренебрегать ручным тормозом. Иначе машина уедет тихо и незаметно – как это произошло у героя...

From wikipedia:

Smooth jazz is a form of jazz that emerged in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, heavily influenced by the likes of rhythm and blues, funk, rock and pop. Sometimes translated as "light jazz" or "smooth jazz".

The movement began in the early 1970s as fusion, started by some jazz musicians, such as Quincy Jones, to fuse the instrumental virtuosity and improvisation of traditional jazz, with a modern, electronic sensibility. The instrument that has become most widely associated with this movement is the saxophone.

A characteristic example of the genre from the 70s is "Tell Me a Bedtime Story" by Quincy Jones, and from the 90s "Between the Sheets" by Fourplay.

In the 90s of the 20th century there was a tendency for the genre to be secondary - background music for rooms, which led to a lot of monotonous, formulaic tracks. The modern trend of smooth jazz is a more mature, sensual music designed for the broadcast format.
