Chaz/History

== ==
Chaz was originally named "Jax the Smooth Jazzer". 
In early scripts, "Jax" would have been hired by Barb when she stopped at a diner where Trolls whose music becomes unpopular end up, along with The Mariachi Sisters, Louise Polka and The Barbershop Boys to get her Poppy. In the cut scene, he also put Barb under a brief trance.

=== Trolls World Tour ===
Chaz first appears when Queen Barb gets glitter-bombed by Queen Poppy. In anger, she summons the Bounty Hunters Chaz, The K-Pop Gang, Reggaeton Trolls Tresillo and his female dancers Marimba and Tambora, and the Yodellers. Barb offers a small piece of land and to spare the music of whomever brings Poppy in.
Chaz ambused Poppy, alongside Branch and Biggie when they travelled by river from the Country Trolls to the Funk Trolls. He puts the Pop Troll trio under a trance and ties them up while they're lost in their illusion. Unfortunately Chaz fails to affect Hickory, who joined Poppy's group. Hickory stuffed gumdrops into his ears to avoid it, and when Chaz tries again Hickory kicks him away. Chaz sinks into the water claiming Smooth Jazz will be heard again.
Chaz is seen again at the ending after Just Sing plays out in the Volcano Rock City arena, where he puts Sid Fret in a trance. Carol then tosses a spray cheese can into Chaz's saxophone, causing his mustache to get splattered in cheese.
In the ending credits, he's also seen putting Pennywhistle in a trance.

=== Trolls: TrollsTopia ===
Chaz made his first 2D appearance in the Trolls: TrollsTopia episode Smooth Operator, where he shows up TrollsTopia under the guise of joining the new city. He gets Poppy to build him a new Smooth Jazz Grotto to make him feel more welcome. He soon shows his true intentions, as he planned to take over the city and turn it into "JazzTopia", with it dedicated to Smooth Jazz. He was foiled by Keith, as children are immune to Smooth Jazz, and left TrollsTopia soon after.
