Jazz for late night relaxation

Jazz friends; I'd like to expand my knowledge of albums geared toward relaxing in the evening with perhaps my favorite brandy or a cup of hot OJ. My taste is varied and I'll post specifics but I feel Paul Desmond and some of Chet Bakers stuff work very well to put me into pure contentment. Thanks for your thoughts. Pete

I have that Jazz For a Rainy Afternoon CD and a couple of others from the series including "Latin Jazz for Lovers." Excellent sound and music for sure.

Would like to add:  The Gentle Side of John Coltrane

This has been my go-to "Intro to Coltrane" with friends. It's a compilation from 1975, and was released as a double album. Features McCoy Tyner on piano.

For a relaxed jazz vibe I like Gary Burton (no pun intended).  I especially recommend "Paris Encounter" with Stephane Grapelli.
