Jazz for relaxation

Here are two nominations from the smooth jazz genre: Chris Botti's Thousand Kisses Deep and Jeff Golub's Do It Again. If you like these, there's a lot more.

Keith Jarrett - The Melody At Night, With You
Charles Lloyd - The Water Is Wide

Both these cd's are beautifully recorded and very "relaxing" to listen to. Also an excellent choice for a romantic candlelight dinner.

Pat Metheny - One Quiet Night
Liz Story - My Foolish heart
Eberhard Weber - Fluid Rustle

These are not in the "smooth" jazz category, they are just very meditative. I've fallen asleep to each of these more times than I can remember.

For me every jazz is relaxing:
Anthony Braxxton, Evan Parker, Huegh Hopper, Keith Tippett(if you know what I mean) FZ's "Uncle Meat"
May also dig on:
Another Cris Botti's "Night Sessions";
Basia "The Sweetest Illusion" and "Time and Tide";
Steely Dan "Gaucho", "Aja" and the new "Everything Must Go".
Sade "Smooth Operator"
