Chill-out jazz

[wanderer]

I looking for some relaxing, chill-out music... Somewhere in the electro-jazz area, maybe something like that. I'm a newbie on this genre so what do you people recommend?

Norman Brown, Kirk Whalum, Brian Culbertson, Dave Koz...any of these guys have some pretty smooth stuff. I own cds by all of them and love to listen to them. If you listen to launch on yahoo, sign in and go to the radio station guide and scroll to the bottom and type in scdianafan in the member search window and you will then be able to listen to some of the smooth jazz/chill music that I enjoy listening to.

Here are some favorites of mine:

"Rendevous" - Sadao Watanabe

"Best of Acid Jazz, Vol. 2" - Various Artists

"L.A. Jazz Society" - L.A. Jazz Society

"Precious", "A Love Supreme" - Chante Moore

Thank you all... I'll listen to the artists/albums you said...

hey...carol welsman's albums are great chill outs. her album night and day is perfect---all kinds of emotions. give it a whirl

best part is she's another singer/pianist from canada who is a blonde bombshell!

I saw Carol Weisnam on Bravo or something simiiar several years ago. She's wonderful and she speaks 4 lanuages also. I don't know why this gifted artist isn't more well known here in the States. Is she in Canada? Thanks for the CD tip of "Night and Day." I do have one of her recordings.

I like to throw on Pat Metheney - ususally American Garage or As Wichita Falls.

hey char----carol does quite well here in canada....not great though. she's doing very very well in europe and brazil. i have met carol on numerous occasions---not only a great recording artist...absolutely AMAZING in concert, and as a human and musician- simply fantastic to sit and talk with. i had a long convo with her about annie ross, and she is such a well rounded musician and knowledgable on jazz and classics alike.

her website is pretty good---www.carolwelsman.com
check out her cd's ---i'm pretty sure she'll have a new one coming out in 2005, cuz she's doing another canadian tour.
