Comment:

As much as we dig undisputed icons like Miles Davis (see: the twisted trumpet leads of “Dancing in the Dark”), he’s not the only name that’s given jazz its rebirth-of-cool rep. On the old-school side of things, Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond whipped up a woozy waltz with “Audrey,” setting the tone for such game-changers as Geoff Keezer, a piano man who isn’t afraid to color his post-bop compositions with bubble-bath beats (“Bibo No Aozora”). Speaking of running with whatever works, our [i]Evening Chillout[/i] Essentials balances all that jazz with heady hip-hop (“Freedom”) and the sort of slow-burning singer-songwriter fare (Duncan Sheik, Feist) that goes well with no-whip triple lattes.
