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.

Charlie Haden / Kenny Barron "Night and The City"

It’s a live recording and you’ll feel like you’re in the room.

Eddie Higgins Quartet "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"

Features Scott Hamilton. Lovely.
@bdgregory .. thanks for sharing "Soulville". Very nice album. Not only had I never heard this one but you reminded me I don't listen to Mr. Webster enough.
Dexter Gordon "Ballads" is up first tonight. Seems to have good synergy with Elijah Craig Small Batch.

... 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).
