| Please suggest serene, restful jazz recordings How about Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Wave" or "Stoneflower".Not exactly jazz per say, but pretty inviting like walking into a rainforest garden. On that note, Michael Frank's "Tiger in the Rain", Joe Sample's "Carmel" John Klemmer's "Touch" Miles Dav... | |

| Help with Jazz BeBop Get him one of the last Michael Brecker recordings (like "1 block from the edge"); very intelligent, mature compositions, arrangements.Now that Michael is gone, all the more meaningful (how else to say it?) | |
