Is improvisational jazz to impressionism art as smooth jazz is to realism art?


So, I’ll acknowledge up front, I’m an engineer. Civilian and Warfighter lives can be in the balance depending on whether our company products perform as required or not. As a result, I try very hard to drive the entropic world we live in towards black and white as much as possible. I need to put order to chaos. When i look at art, impressionistic art requires a lot of mental work to make sense of. I just don't see it or get it, appreciate it or like it. I also find, as hard as i may try to enjoy improvisational jazz, that i don't get it, appreciate it, or like it. Instead, I love Realism art and instrumental smooth jazz!!
Reading from Audiogon forum pages for a couple of years now, i feel like i should feel inferior because 1. I don’t appreciate the free flow of expression that is improvisational jazz and 2. I love that there is a tune and thread in smooth jazz. I love the guitar artistry of Chuck Loeb, Chris Standring, and Acoustic Alchemy; the trumpet expressions of Rick Braun, Cindy Bradley, and Chris Botti; and the bass works of Brian Bromberg. 
I’m curious if there are many others out there that equate order (or lack there-of) in their music tastes to that of their taste in the visual arts?
Also, are there many other music lovers who would rather enjoy a good smooth jazz listening session than improvisational jazz?  If so, who do you listen to?

In the Soviet Union, there was a joke-saying:
today you play jazz - and tomorrow you will sell your homeland (everything sounds in rhyme).
Surprisingly, years passed and it was these people who turned out to be traitors ...

Behind abstractionism and improvisation (most often) hides anti-art, chaos, mediocrity, dehumanization - it is easier to realize there for those who do not know how to create a masterpiece, but know how to sell themselves ... a fool - you need to convince that this is cool! - to play on his vanity and pride ... he is not like everyone else! - and for this you have to pay a lot of money))))

When people discuss works of such creativity (for example, Malevich's "black square") ... it seems as if art critics gathered around a puddle of urine in an elevator - and everyone fantasized what it was like, what an artist's inner world ... what he wanted us tell this ...

There are probably exceptions, but there are very few of them, and most likely - the melody turned out to be similar to the classical one.
A person has only two things - a soul and a body - everything that happens around has an impact on both.

Look at all this as FOOD! ... everything in this world is cognized by comparison! for example, two people - one eats right (clean water, vegetables and fruits without chemistry, regime, correct diet, fresh air, sun, gymnastics, good sleep, peaceful surroundings, no drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, swearing, does not cheat on his wife, is passionate about his business .. .)

the second person - drinks water from a muddy puddle in an industrial area, buys vegetables and fruits in the supermarket (they were watered with chemistry when they grew up, then they are impregnated with chemistry so that they would lie in the store for a long time), does not observe the regime at all, eats fast food, breathes from the exhaust pipe of a car, does not happen in the sun (for example, a miner), moves little, almost does not sleep, around angry aggressive people, drinks, smokes, takes drugs, sleeps with prostitutes, a loafer ...

As a result, one is cheerful, happy, slender, does not get sick, lives for a long time, has achieved a lot in life. The second - his short life is torment, he has chronic diseases, obesity, he is weak, women do not like him, and so on ...

We figured out the body - no one can argue.
SOUL is such an organ! , it's matter! (has the nature of a field).

the laws of the nourishment of the soul - have the same (or similar) principles as the body.
You will either become happy, or you will follow the road leading to moral deformity (illness of the soul) ...

Music is food! ... and your destiny!

Music hierarchy (descending order of importance):

1. Sacred music (in the west it is not enough, in America it is not at all)

2. Folk music - in it all the pain, wisdom and experience of older generations

3. Classical symphonic music (even farmers turn it on to cows and milk yields increase ... animals gain weight faster ... if you turn on jazz, cows will want a cigar for whiskey and refuse to press milk))) ...)

Then there are other types of music, but at the end of the list (the most destructive effect not only on the soul, but objectively on the human body) heavy metal, punk, rave, songs containing abuse, too loud and harsh ...
