   It won't work, becaue SJ has nothing to do with jazz. It's simply a   
   marketing conceit to sell Easy Listening schlok to people who   
   despreately want to be hip and don't know how. They know that "jazz"   
   is hip, so tell them that their E-Z Listening tripe is jazz, they'll   
   believe it [good marketing will make the average consumer believe damn   
   near anything] and they'll think they're suddenly hip.
