It is a tongue-in-cheek nod to the old board, where the OB forum would frequently feature one or more threads about an individual rock artist (ex: a 43 page thread about Them Crooked Vultures), yet had one catch-all thread simply called "jazz" that had like 10 pages of activity over 8 years. It is, in fact, a commentary on the very absurdity of reducing the entire broad genre of jazz to a single conversational stream, but also a commentary on the fact that RM's interest in such is so limited that it can barely support even this.

Some of these old ECM albums from the '70's and '80's push the borders of new-ageyness a bit too shamelessly for my liking (Pat Metheny, looking in your direction), but when they're right they're the perfect blend of dark, ambient, soulful, swinging, conversational, and lots of other positive adjectives one might affiliate with a European side-strain of traditional jazz operating in a world of fusion. This album by Kenny Wheeler has been really hitting the spot for me lately:

So i few weeks ago i saw this legend. I went with my dad, we had dinner before and then we saw him in a very cool venue here. It was Upright bass, guitar and piano, and while he didnt played So What he actually did a few cool jazz standers anyway.
Man, the guy is just..his effortless way of making music. Really something else.
