It's the old music-as-art vs. music-as-product argument.
For me the "irritating" nature of true jazz (and all artistic music!) is communication direct from the hearts and souls of the musicians, as opposed to the drab dullness of most smooth jazz sonic wallpaper.
Good musicianship is not enough. It takes passion to transcend music to the level of art.
Let the flames begin!
