From Louis Armstrong to Charlie Parker to the new greats of today, this is the place for Jazz!

Here you go! Some cool tracks and ballades

I'd strongly suggest you sample some of these on Youtube or elsewhere. They're all classic albums.

John Coltrane - Ballads.... One of the ultimate pleasures in cool listening.
Herbie Hancock - Speak Like A Child.... A masterpiece and a must-have
Antonio Carlos Jobim - Stone Flower.... I can't recommend this highly enough. Gorgeous.
Freddy Hubbard - Ballads.... some very nice cool tracks
Getz + Gilberto.... the classic bossa nova tracks, a huge hit since it came out
Stan Getz - The Lost Sessions, Bossa and Ballads.... Mr Cool Saxophone. Nice tracks.
Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil.... classic album and still one of his absolute best
George Benson - Breezin.... classic tracks like Nature Boy and This Masquerade

Videos
Diana Krall - Live in Paris .... some gorgeous ballades and string arrangements by Claus Ogerman

Left Field Choices
Archie Shepp + Horace Parlan - Goin' Home, and Trouble in Mind....very soulful blues + spirituals
Dr John - Afterglow.... Some wonderful cool tracks with jazz arrangements. New Orleans magic.
Baden Powell - Os Afro Sambas.... wonderful cool sambas, a classic from 1966
