You could be referring to Jazz in general, (which is a huge genre), jazz ballads, this specific sound, whatever. I'm assuming you want some more jazz ballads like these - if so: And for some kinda different, newer stuff: Edit: Whoops, forgot to close this out. Just tryina help you out - if I missed the point, lemme know and I can grab some different stuff. If you're just looking for jazz in general, I'd recommend checking out The Official Jazz-Thread. I can also tell you some names of my personal favorites - Joshua Redman, Terence Blanchard, Art Blakey, The Bad Plus, Dizzy Gillespie, I can go on for a while haha.

As for what specifically I'm looking for - it's slow tempo cool jazz from the 50's, preferably longer ones (5+ min) and anything that sounds like it. Something to relax to after a hard days work. If you think of any other songs, I'd love to hear them. The kind of blue video above is blue in green in OP (:
