As of now, I'm pretty sure all of you have heard of "Time to get classy."
It's a combination of sounds and youtube videos that has spread across the internet.

Anyways, I realized that I really like that jazz song. For video game music, I have to say that I like it better than a lot of other songs written by well-established jazz artists.

Here's another one from that soundtrack:


So could you all recommend me some more jazz songs like this?
i.e. really mellow ones, no words, slow tempo

Miles Davis' Kind of Blue album is all pretty mellow chill jazz and its an album any person looking to get into jazz should have imo. Keith Jarrett also has a lot of nice beautiful mellow music, and most of his works have my favorite drummer Jack DeJohnette.

I don't know anything about contemporary jazz artists, but maybe you'll like some of this stuff.

I might also recommend Azure & Sands, another great jazz circle.

Miles Davis is pretty much THE jazz trumpeter. Keith Jarrett did play with Davis (but has some more recent stuff too).

The song you posted is more or less a straight ahead jazz ballad, you'll find this kind of stuff among the "older" jazz, as opposed to bebop, though there's some hard bop stuff like that?

You can't go wrong with pretty much anyone who played with Davis. Cannonball Adderley, Hank Jones, John Coltrane (though some of his stuff is a bit "harder" to listen to). Can't forget Duke Ellington too.

However, trying to suggest "jazz songs" is as hard as telling someone to suggest you "rock songs". The genre's gigantic. It's huge. Everything from big band to prog jazz is in there, and there's a huge variety.

Here's some major jazz songs:


My Favorite Things, it's actually too long of a song to fit in one youtube video for non-sponsored content providers.


Autumn Leaves


In a Sentimental Mood

EDIT: Oh, and I'd have to say, give that jazz music by well-established artists a try. Nothing wrong with video game music, it's good stuff, but those jazz musicians are ridiculously talented. They're legends for a reason, and if you listen closely, the small nuances, the tiny touches they add that make a song perfect are there.

Haha yeah, definitely didn't mean to put down "well-established artists" or anything. And I'm not saying I'm really into video game music. I was just saying "The Fragrance of Dark Coffee" sounds really fucking good.

Getting some deja vu here, could have sworn this one asked before and I made the mistake of thinking Tofucake liked Jazz when it was Flicky who did.

In any case, I always suggest this song:

Uyama Hiroto is dope

If you're looking for more mellow type stuff then Miles Davis is your guy
Jazz liberatorz is raw as well, but it mixes jazz + hip hop


if you like jazz/hip hop I recommend giving my compilation a try :D

Here are a few of my favorite mellow (non singing) jazz artists not already mentioned:

Stan Getz


Dennis Rollins


Dizzie Gillespie, Thelonious Monk & Art Blakely are also worth mentioning.

Also if you like the music in your OP so much you could try the Cowboy Bebop soundtracks by the Seatbelts. Really amazing music accompanying the anime.

Life is to give and take. You take a vacation and you give to the poor.

And how could I forget Hans Dulfer and Candy Dulfer. Although it's not as mellow as the rest it's very good imo. Here is a clip of them playing together

The bad plus maybe?
Shameless personal blog promotion :D

And anything on the album Gently Disturbed by Avishai Cohen. Like this:
EffOrt. That is all.
