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.

Thanks to everyone I now have a larger catalog to stream in. A couple back your way in appreciation is Bill Charlap - Notes From New York, and Uptown Downtown. Real tasty, well recorded, laid back piano jazz.

He's a fine pianist and a favorite of mine. "I'm Old Fashioned", "'S Wonderful", "Written In the Stars" are all well-recorded (actually, most of his albums are).

Last night, I enjoyed Harry Belafonte Sings the Blues featuring sublime performances of numerous Billie Holiday, Johnny Mercer, and Ray Charles titles.  Great singing, great band, great recording, great pressing — Analogue Productions (AAPF 1972).
