Well... Contemporary Jazz is pretty much Jazz Lyrical. It is modern (contemporary) dance with some jazz in the mix. It is usually to soft or medium soft music and the choreography flows. It may have a Jazzy feel to it, or it may not. Contemporary Jazz has more options for themes, choreography, style, ETC. Personally, I believe that Contemporary Jazz or Jazz Lyrical is a fun class to take and teach!:)

Another name for contemporary jazz is "smooth jazz." This genre of jazz music is characterized by its polished and commercial sound, often featuring a fusion of jazz, R&B, and pop elements. Smooth jazz typically incorporates electronic instruments and production techniques to create a more accessible and easy-listening style compared to traditional jazz.
