I've listened to a lot of different music over the years. I listen to music so much all day mostly as background noise... I recently moved to a new place, and the neighbor sometimes plays Jazz in the weekends. I seriously open the windows and turn off my own music. Something about it is just soo nice and chill. Something with the vibe, I don't know. The closest genre I listen to similar to Jazz, is Downtempo. Here for reference: Youtube Music | Spotify

There’s some really great suggestions here, I’ll add a few as well. I’ll start with some newer stuff, will be piano and organ heavy, but that’s what my husband plays so we tend to listen to that a lot. You should use this as a good way to meet your neighbours! Pop over and ask what they’re playing. Enjoy exploring the world of jazz, its mighty fun :)

The Bad Plus

GoGo Penguin

Bill Laurance

EST (Esbjörn Svensson Trio)

Bill Frisell (more guitar, has a bit of bluegrass. Blues Dream is one of my all time favourite albums)

Billie Holiday (really can’t go wrong with anything from her)

Dave Brubeck- Take Five (classic album)

Kieth Jarrett- Koln Concert (another fav)

Etta James - At Last (her voice! Amazing!)

I’ll probably be back to add some more haha.

Edit - thanks for the rec with the Spotify link! Really liking that.

Edit 2 - my husband suggested Mark Farina - Mushroom Jazz, def more in the realm of beats.
