I'll add to the Tord Gustavsen Trio fanclub, and let me also tell you to get their latest CD, released this year, called "Being There" (ECM) .. Excellent stuff, an improvement on the 2nd CD in my opinion.
Please suggest serene, restful jazz recordings
Could you please suggest some quite, late night type jazz recordings on CD?
* Recording quality is at least as important as the music; if it isn't extremely well recorded, I wouldn't be interested.
* Instrumentals only, no vocals.
* Well recognized classic songs like "Misty", "Stardust", "Moon River", "When I Fall in Love", etc.
* No piano banging (like Oscar Peterson), only smooth, flowing piano
* No CD's that are marred by a single lousy cut.
* I'm looking for restful, background music, not something that will impress/irritate my neighbors with my audio system.
Thanks in advance for your help!
