Il est généralement interprété à un tempo moyen et tend à mettre en avant le piano/clavier, le saxophone, la trompette et la guitare comme instruments principaux jouant la mélodie.
La plupart du temps, le Smooth Jazz est bien produit et présente des mélodies mémorables sur un fond de plusieurs pistes d\'instruments rythmiques, de claviers, de guitare, de cordes, de synthétiseurs, de batteries et de percussions.
Chaque riff a été enregistré avec l\'instrument mélodique solo ainsi qu\'une piste d\'accompagnement rythmique de guitare, de claviers/synthés, de basse, de batterie/percussion, puis uniquement les pistes d\'accompagnement pour que vous puissiez vous entraîner.
