I'm looking for some mellow stuff. Jazz, Blues, that kind of thing. Any recommendations?

I think his very first album Six and Twelve String Guitar with the armadillo on the jacket qualifies as "great". I was there, so to speak, when it came out, and people were reccomending it and passing it around exitedly all over the place. It was an original, stunning sound, and accessible to anyone who likes music.Chi Meson said:While on the subject of NPR segues, another musician that I like (not Jazz) that regularly appears "between stories" is Leo Kottke. I'm not sure if any single album is "great"...

Astronuc said:Just about anything on the Windham Hill Label - guitarists Will Ackerman and Michael Hedges, and pianist George Winston and Liz Story, and many others play some soft jazz and new age music.

Put a feral cat in your car, trying to take them to the vet, the cat is ripping the inside of the car apart, trying to get out. Pop in a Yanni cd and the cat will start slowly swaying back and forth and humming to the music. Works on small children also.honestrosewater said:That's funny, I thought it was spelled Yawny.

Yanni, Tesh, and David Lanz fall into the same genre - New Age (Contemporary Instrumental, Progressive Electronic).Chi Meson said:I'm sorry. Really. For so many reasons.
How about John Tesh?
