Jazz for relaxation

Thanks to you all! I just forgot to mention that I prefer no vocal (not at all, but in this topic), just acoustic.

Marakanetz, I liked your comment. :) Though you like any jazz, I think it's still possible to narrow the results by the criteras provided, not everybode relaxes from just any jazz, some of it may be quite energizing, some nervous... Emotions in music are not always positive...

I would suggest 'Beyond The Missouri Sky' by Pat Matheny and Charlie Haden, both Missouri boys. Two acoustic instruments and very melodic. You should be able to find it at Tower, Barnes & Noble, or Borders.

Tord Gustavsen "Changing Places"
Tomasz Stanko "Soul of Things"

Since you mentioned you don't want any vocals, my recommendations are as follows :-

1) Fourplay - almost all of them are good
2) Acoustic Alchemy - The Best Of, Radio Contact
3) Earl Klugh - Collection album(somebody mentioned earlier)
4) David Benoit - The Best Of 1987-1995 (piano)
