Listen to these albums. I found this on wikipedia but I agree with it wholeheartedly.

* Tourist in Paradise by The Rippingtons
* Double Vision by Bob James and David Sanborn
* Rise by Herb Alpert
* Morning Dance by Spyro Gyra
* Breezin' by George Benson
* Collaboration' by George Benson and Earl Klugh
* Feels So Good by Chuck Mangione
* Festival by Lee Ritenour
* Fourplay by Fourplay
* Rapture by Anita Baker
* Winelight by Grover Washington, Jr.
* "Europe" by European Jazz Trio

And try to find your influences in funk and pop. A lot of melodies in smooth jazz are popy and funky.

WE HAVE JAZZ CHAT!!!

On the forums click chat on the top line, then for the room have it say #jazz instead of #ultimate-guitar. It's although lonely in there atm.

Not only do hot girls not like jazz, but in my area, no one likes jazz. Im the only one for an hour and a half until I reach the city, so its a pain in the ass for jamming with jazz guys.

Same here. It's rather sad actually.
I'm not even talking about people to jam with. I just want someone to talk to about Jazz.

Pat Martino is sex. Some of the most tasteful playing ever. I love the album "Footprints* so much.

How can you say that? What about Charlie Christian? Les Paul? Django Reinhardt? Martin Taylor?

Do they not fit in either?

guitar + jazz = wrong in my opinion it just doesn't fit in the genre.

There are a lot of hot girls in my school jazz band (all sax players), but they seem to only like playing and not listening to "crazy music". Damn them not being true enthusiasts.
