There’s nothing I want more at night than some good jazz. I never set aside enough time consistently to get away. Hoping this helps.
I’ve wanted to make a jazz playlist for far too long. I almost kind of did, twice. I always focused too much on the electronic/hip-hop inspired beats. They have the qualities of jazz, but were ultimately more than that. I finally took the time to find nothing but jazz or at least most of it.
To start off this list, Bill Evans– who may be my favorite artist of this year, even though he’s long gone <3
While making this playlist on Spotify, I noticed that jazz more than any other genre has dynamics between songs that kept making me turn up and down the music. Beautiful but annoying. Especially having to go over this playlist almost a dozen times to get the ordering right.
For kicks, this is how I sectioned it off:
The best
The best but newer/sound
Some really good shit still
Soundtracks
Moody/new soundtracks
Soundtracks
Covers
Good shit #3
More upbeat good shit
Lower to weird/experimental
Also, I made the artwork on Midjourney as well as the one below. The two below that are from Stable Diffusion’s Dream Studio. What do you like best?
