@Fasty5370 Have a look at my channel if you want to get to know some more jazz, ive got some great concerts and albums on there! two live concerts from chet and many more from other greats, art blakey & the jazz messengers, buddy rich, dave brubeck etc...

very nice!

@Fasty5370 also, for thoughtful stuff (which i think is part of what you're getting at), i love "thelonius himself", a solo piano album by thelonius monk that includes "'round midnight" AND a "work-in-progress" take of the same tune (with the musician's and sound engineer's conversation audible at times)... one last one i can't resist is any of the later stuff by shirley horn: so deep, so beautiful. enjoy the voyage of discovery...

@Fasty5370 i always say that no one makes me smile like louis armstrong, and no one makes me cry like coltrane... although i would edit that to add the vocals of jimmy scott. an easy entree into good jazz, IMHO, is coltrane's "ballads"--or any of his ballads: so thoughtful, so deep... jimmy scott is not "smooth" in the way that i think you mean (chet baker's "west coast" sound)--but it would be a sin not to give him a listen. you'll dig him, or you won't. no in-between....

@aydansavaskan not quite as melancholy, but also incredible. Beautiful tone, gentle phrasing and a delicious nonchalance

@Fasty5370 try stan getz

@fradifoci This is the late great Pepper Adams on Baritone Sax. Also sounds llike Bill Evans on Piano.

@Fasty5370 You don't find Jazz. Jazz finds you.

Why didn't know about Chet when I was still drinking and toking.... I love his stuff... but i could have REALLY GOTTEN IN TO IT then ....
Epic feelings. Goes well with some cigs and a glass of scotch during a rainy night...

@zenith72 it's cool jazz. try miles davis,gerry mulligan,lester young,paul desmond,art pepper,gil evans....there's a whole bunch...though,throughout their career they played in different sub-genres....so, look out for a year :) i think cool came about around 40ies or so... ? you can easily find it now that you know the genre :)
peace
