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

HAHA!!! Sorry, but Frogman's list is good for listening one after another without getting any sleep even if alcohol is present :-)

If you really need lullaby,
Here's my top list:

Percy Faith;
David Rose;
Jackie Gleeson;
Carmen Cavallaro;
George Shearing and some Mantovani.

With vocals:

#1 is Diana Krall gets me asleep even after Monster Energy drink zzzzz...!!!
Nora Jones YES!
Judy Garland
Tony Bennet
Andy Williams

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Lars Danielsson was involved in many bands and projects. Jazz Baltica in particular-- not only the festival, but rather gathering and jamming of Northern European jazz masters. 
I liked combo of Lars Danielsson/Wolfgang Hafner/Marcus Wasilewski/Roy Hargrove
