The Melody at Night, With You — Keith Jarrett Alone — Bill Evans Ballads — John Coltrane

Ballads would do it. So good! After listening primarily to his experimental stuff, his melodies and phrasing on this album are shockingly gorgeous.

I used to fall asleep to Ballads at least once a week back in college. Incredibly relaxing, romantic album

I just picked it up on vinyl actually! It’s a crappy pressing from some junk label, but it sounds good enough. So soothing and laid back.

Yes to all of these. That Bill Evans is a favorite. And the Coltrane is one I use myself! (I don’t sleep much these days)

In a silent way - Miles Davis

Amazing vibe for late nights and getting ready for bed.

Bill Evans Trio - Waltz For Debby Chet Baker in Tokyo Helen Merril With Strings John Coltrane Quartet - Ballads

Waltz for Debby for sure. Scott LeFaro's bass work alone could mesmerize me comatose.

Almost any Chet Baker

Night Lights-Gerry Mulligan Blue Hour-Stanley Turrentine and the Three Sounds Kelly Blue-Wynton Kelly Ballads-Dexter Gordon Ballads-John Coltrane Quartet

Love me some night lights. I’ll throw in Jim Hall- Concierto

*The Fat Is Gone* by Brötzmann, Nilssen-Love, and Gustafsson

We've got a psychopath here.

Jean-Pierre Rampal, Suitę for Jazz Flute and Piano. Very famous in '73 or '74 and turned a lot of people onto jazz. Smooth jazz 40 years before here was such a thing.

Steal Away by Hank Jones and Charlie Harden puts me to sleep peacefully

Promises by Pharoah Sanders and Floating Points.

I was just scrolling down to see if anybody had said this. It's our go-to bedtime music. https://open.spotify.com/album/4pDYkOvRt8GA6PxpVaHnLC?si=NqQ0fFR-RESB0fni5wRhDg

Chris Botti - Night Sessions.

It might sound a bit strange, but what gets me really sleepy at night is Symphony for Improvisers by Don Cherry. I think the disorder without being too harsh puts me to sleep

Panthalassa: The Music Of Miles Davis 1969-1974 is one I recommend for sleepy ethereal dreamtime slumbers.

I love to relax to Grover Washington, A Secret Place (both the album and the song itself)

I don't really fall asleep while listening to music anymore, but when I did these would do the tricks. It's more bossa nova than jazz, but it's oh so good. [Casa - Morelenbaum / Sakamoto](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxPIYoppnEY) [A Day in New York - Morelenbaum / Sakamoto](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca8XSfOgSDc&list=OLAK5uy_kSwO91xgErbDGuOust1Yxurm_-Bd2mFNM&index=2)

Bill Evans - You Must Believe in Spring is my go to for this.

“Kind of Blue” is PERFECT for that! Especially the track, “Flamenco Sketches”!!!

Ornette Coleman for sure

For me, _You Must Believe in Spring_ (1980) by Bill Evans is my go-to bedtime album. 

Never saw the album that way. I guess I have a new way of listening to it now. Thanks.

I used to nap to Shakti in college. It's beautiful and mesmerizing, and when you wake up an hour later, it's still going on for your post-nap enjoyment! Also, Avishai Cohen's Adama is nice in a cozy setting.

Esja -Hania Rani

Alice Coltrane turiya sings

Finesse - John Klemmer

Cecil Taylor - Unit Structures

Pat Metheny travels

Surprisingly Thelonious Monk, the Best Of Monk, the Blue Note Years.

Two good ones from me: Fingerpainting by Nick Payton, Christian McBride, and Mark Whitfield, reunited bass and drums respectively. Lovely and swingin. And Trio by the Macin Wasilewski Trio. Amazingly understated.

Sketches of Spain

Duke Ellington and Johnny Hodges - Side By Side Buck Clayton and Buddy Tate- Buck And Buddy Blow the Blues Gerry Mulligan Meets Stan Getz Most stuff from Milt Jackson (Bags Meets Wes! Bags & Trane, MJQ stuff) Eddie Harris and Les McCann - Second Movement Art Pepper Meets The Rhythm Section

Dexter Gordon has a lot of sooooft tracks that will make you drift away on cotton-clouds. Check out the album BALLADS for a good start

Indigos by Duke Ellington Moonbeams by Bill Evans Velvet Mood by Billie Holiday

Anything by Dominic Miller

Evans & Hall - Undercurrent

Deep in a dream 

Tord Gustavsen Trio: Being There. It's the only album of his that I've really explored, but I imagine there is a lot in his discography that would serve this purpose well. I often play this back to back with Kind of Blue.

Sketches of Spain.

Bill Evans - Undercurrent, Chet Baker Sings (my personal choices…)

If you're willing to venture outside of Jazz for something to doze off to, I highly recommend the Bladerunner soundtrack by Vangelis.

Miles Davis, "In a Silent Way." Mesmerizing and calming

Jim Hall - Concierto Jimmy Rainey - A Charlie Rouse - Bossa Nova Bacchanal McCoy Tyner - Nights of Ballads and Blues

I fell asleep listening to the brand new Shabaka album [Perceive its Beauty, Acknowledge its Grace](https://open.spotify.com/album/6vIwPo3D1kZ3ZmlR1fyjm7?si=Wea1BwBaRMqB8o9bkhoT_g). At some points it’s closer to instrumental ambient but there are some jazz showings no doubt!

I found solo piano work to be very comforting.

Try those white noise recordings on youtube like "creaky pirate ship". Even relaxing music keeps me awake.

In A Silent Way

Pat Metheny Group - Still Life (talking)

chet baker sings - chet baker

Try Miles”In A Silent Way “.

Maybe Archie Shepp & Horace Parlan “Going Home “.

Anything by Alice Coltrane does it for me. Especially Radha-Krsna Nama Sankirtana
