130 mixes with songs by “Coleman+Hawkins”

enjoy a trip back to the era where a national crisis was revived by a genre of music. Through innovation from pain and joy, these various artists express true emotion with bass and brass. relax and enjoy just a bit of this flavor.

Some of the classics are on the playlist.... Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Ella Fitzgerald

Jazz, swing, dance, heartbreak, and ecstasy from the 1930s; brief tracks but lots of them. Artists include Louis Armstrong, Connee Boswell, and Johnny Hodges.

It's the end of the week and time for a long bubble bath. your mind slows down to a crawl and the stresses and worries of the workaday week retreat. you put your head back and drift away, knowing you are loved and wanted. your heart is open and your dreams linger, waiting for you to capture them and hold them close . . .

Old School Jazz for a chill night.

It's 3:30am and I'm up, so I put together a mix of music by Art Tatum, Louis Armstrong and Bix Beiderbecke. You're welcome but you should really thank Sir Insomnia.

16 jazz tunes for all the sad sacks out there.

This time I tried a more minimal approach. *Most* tracks are simply a piano and unobtrusive strings. Later Frank Sinatra and "Dino" Martin will buoy you up performing a little comedy while you're having a short break. Afterwards we'll continue with some decent Jazz and Coffee and more Scores.

Edit: 59 tracks including music by Craig Armstrong, Nick Cave and Howard Shore.

Feel free to meditate or sleep to this mix as well.
