Smoocheroso

I've found my word of the day: smoocheroso.

It was used to describe a couple of performances on the now defunct Radio National program The Planet.

If you like smoocheroso, sensuous tenor saxophone, it's hard to imagine anything more appetizing than "The Nearness of You".

RICHARD GALLIANO (NEW YORK TRIO) - ’RUBY, MY DEAR’ (one of the world’s greatest accordionists, ’live’, & smoocheroso with ac bassist Larry Grenadier & the brushes of drummer Clarence Penn.

So it has been used to describe tenor saxophone and accordion performances. It sounds like a medley of smooth and smooch, with the Spanish suffix to turn it into an adjective. There are few occurrences of the word on the Internet and no definition, but you can infer what it implies.
