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.

Also thanks @brskie for pointing out Gene Ammons: Boss Tenor (OJC-297).  I forgot I had that one.  Like Chet Baker: Chet it is another OJC release that provides a high performance/ recording quality to cost ratio and is a great late night spin. Teeing that one up for later tonight.  Now to track down some of the other great suggestions.

@cabfiend: I gave Coltrane and Hartman a late night spin.. and it is indeed a good one.  I especially enjoyed Coltrane’s rhythm section — Jones using brushes the whole album, Garrison plucking deep, round notes to go along perfectly with Hartman’s voice. Great recording as well (Impulse AS-40).

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).
