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.

At late night, when I listen to jazz, I most often listen to piano, either solo or with one other instrument. In addition to some of the albums listed in previous responses, here are long-time favorites and some that I've been enjoying recently:

Ahmad Jamal -- Ballades
Fred Hersch -- Music from Home
Bill Evans -- Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby
Charlie Haden and Hank Jones -- Steal Away and Come Sunday
Charlie Haden and Chet Baker -- Silence

And some exceptions to the rule include:

Ben Webster -- Soulville (yep, I'll join the chorus on this one)
Ben Webster -- Jazz 'Round Midnight
Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau -- Across the Wide Missouri Sky
Joe Pass -- Meditation and Unforgettable

Happy listening and sweet dreams!
