You guys need to calm down your comments. I wouldn't judge his music until you post something of yourselves up. Also, jerrythejew this is very much so jazz. Jazz is the most general you can get. There are so many different generes of music that fall under jazz.

You can argue over the label/category of music ED falls under until the cows come home, the fact is this young man plays the sax exceptionally well and is passionate about the music. If you don't like it sorry but I think it's great to see that there are still real musicians out there. You can have the commercially manufactured digitally cloned pop stars. I preferred the real thing!

OMG this ain't bad. jeez...you guys sound like my grandpa..."Play the bridge, play the bridge!!! Foo'! It's da-da-dee, not da-da-doo!" Gosh, that's like discrediting the Saturday Night Live saxophonists...
besides, classics are classics...but there are only so many classics-eventually, we'll all end up covering the same artists (a feat in itself)-maybe it's time to open up a little to a er...modern age...of jazz?
i dunno. i'm just an alto player who's been playing for less than a year.

For all the idiots who cant label it. its called smooth jazz. It IS Jazz and it IS contemporary. ITs NOT Herbie hancock, Not John coltrane, NOT Wayne Shorter, not Bebop not swing etc. It IS David sanborn, Dave Koz, KennyG...maybe even Pat Methany and possibly sometimes the Yellowjackets. Theres some pretty big jazz names there. So give it a rest already.

This guy does him, theres nothing wrong with that. He also probably gets more pussy than most jazz nerds. However, in my opinion, his music is hot bullshit on a humid summer night in the projects.

I believe its not Jazz, because the main element is missing: improvisation. Besides from that its obviously only composed to be running in background like elevators and stuff. I think "Smooth Jazz" is basically Pop music played with modern Instruments.
