Late Night Jazz

I like to keep my late night listening sessions simple— my favorite leather chair, a small fire on a cold night, bourbon (neat), and jazz that has a beautiful simplicity. I often reach for Chet Baker: Chet (OJC-087). To me it is relaxed, intimate, uncomplicated. There just seems to be space between the notes, and they just float. I am looking for other suggestions like this. Preferably on vinyl. Thanks.

Charlie Haden- NocturneJohn Daversa- Quarentena
Note both of these albums feature magical Cuban pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba.
Also want to highlight another Ben Webster album- Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben Webster. Check out Rosita.
Cheers.

Bill Evans - "The Solo Sessions Vol. 1"

This vinyl is recorded in such a way that it puts Evans in the room with you. 

+1 thanks @bdgregory for your suggestion ... added to my Qobuz "relaxing jazz" playlist.

Oh yeah ... besides Coltrane "Ballads", Kenny Burrell "Round Midnight" all-time favorites for late night easy listening.

Try: John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman (1963)....
AND, thanks everybody for sending your musical magic our way.  I've been on Audiogon for a while now and I am so jazzed to see some people talking about the music beyond the music as a simply a vehicle to assess gear.  This is what it is all about when you distill it down.  Keep em coming, fellow fiends.
