Jazz for late night relaxation
Stanley Turrentine's CTI record; Salt Song, a great record that could be construed as 'relaxing'.  For that matter, most CTI records would have the same affect!

Larry Willis was also a core member of the legendary Latin Jazz band ; Fort Apache (Jerry Gonzalez's group), for decades.  Rumba Para Monk, Obatala, & Earthdance are outstanding records!

How important is a good rack?
10 yrs ago I was using a generic Sound Organization rack and came across a used Billy Bags rack. The only reason I pulled the trigger was the price ($600. The rack cost twice that new!) and I liked the look of the rack. I wasn't considering sonics...
