Comment:

"'Round Midnight" is exactly the sort of song you want to hear when the small hand strikes 12 — a subtle wash of subterranean bass and trumpets that tease like an experienced lover. Our other Basics maintain the tranquil but alert mood, from the plodding piano progression of "Django" to the late-night espresso shot of "So What."
