"A Kiss To Build A Dream On" – Louis Armstrong
Louis' lyrics in this jazz song evoke romance from the get-go. They follow quite a delightful piano melody that soon crescendos into a soulful trumpet solo to round out the tune.
"Skating In Central Park" – Bill Evans, Jim Hall
Bill Evans and Jim Hall bring their talents on guitar and piano to this smooth, ethereal track, seamlessly pairing the two instruments to paint a dreamy picture of New York City adventures in the mid-twentieth century.
"On The Sunny Side Of The Street" – Billie Holiday
Billie Holiday's voice is timeless. It's smooth and oh-so soothing, and that shines brightly in the lively "On The Sunny Side Of The Street." This jazzy tune will undoubtedly uplift your mood once you press play!
"A Day In The Life" – Wes Montgomery
Next, Wes ramps up the energy within our jazz playlist with some pure groove. "A Day In The Life" is more up-tempo and features a larger ensemble (with strings!) for a larger sound.
"Till There Was You" – Etta Jones
Our jazz playlist oozes out even more romance with songs like Etta Jones' "Till There Was You." Her voice is filled with suave as she tells a lovely tale.
"There Will Never Be Another You" – Chet Baker
This track taps into old-timey jazz with a bouncy piano line that plays alongside vibrant trumpet licks. Plus, of course, Chet Baker's vocal capability is the epitome of romantic jazz.
"Maybe We Should Dance" – Paul Moretti Trio
As the title suggests, this song is perfect for slow-dancing with your love or even just calmly lighting a candle ahead of a cozy evening at home.
"What If It's Not" – Trio Del Norte
This next song brings a warm, fuzzy feeling to the listening experience with sounds of light rain running in the background.
"You Are Too Beautiful" – John Coltrane, Johnny Hartman
This tune is equally serene and melancholic, which is the ideal vibe for staying in and sipping hot tea during a rainy weekend.
"Cocktails For Two" – Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, Oscar Peterson
This jazz tune features some overwhelmingly cinematic vibes via a swanky saxophone arrangement and a light, twinkling piano.
