RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
- Keep it clean and SFW

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.
