Jazz Baths

[rhino]

Since we got the new house with a great big old tub, I’ve gotten in the habit of taking baths quite frequently. I’m doing the thing all the way, drinks, candles, and music.

Mark’s lesson dissecting a Miles Davis solo happened to coincide with one such bath. I’ve since done a few with Miles, Thelonious Monk, and Herbie Hancock. Looking for more recommendations. Not looking for elevator music, but also don’t want a Bitches Brew type is situation either. That seems like it would get messy with water splashing everywhere.

Please keep your pissing in the sink comments to yourself. I don’t care.

How about some of the Keith Jarrett solo concerts?

Quick YouTube search confirms, this is the sort of recommendation I’m looking for.
Thanks

Speaking of...

Have you seen the article on Jarrett in today's NY Times? Seems he may never be able to perform again...

I’ve been taking epsom salt baths recently and watching YouTube videos on the physiology of consciousness and fake P90 humbuckers.

The two duet records he made with Charlie Haden a few years ago were among Haden’s last before his death, and (I think) among Jarrett’s most recent releases. If those are his last, then they’d be a fine way to end his career.

The Melody at Night With You would also make for really great bathtub listening.

Jazz Bath is actually a great band name

I think that these would all make fantastic choices.

I would say Pharoah Sanders ”The Creator has a Master Plan” with a glass of Alsace Riesling.

I second that.

Affinity with Bill Evans and Toots Thielemans might fit the bill

If vocals are acceptable, then the two Bill Evans/Tony Bennett albums are absolutely sublime, and would work perfectly.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Made a Spotify playlist if anyone is interested. I left the Tony Bennet stuff off for this purpose, but will check it out.

Not quite bath time, but closed out the day on a job site listening to Beautiful Music. I very rarely make my subs turn off the same Skynard radio stations they’ve been listening to their whole lives. They think I’m weird but tolerate me when I make these demands, because I am technically the boss.

My favorite quote was “man, that’s kinda different, but kinda cool too.” Personally, I would go further. The piano and fiddle (maybe I should refer to this as violin), are gorgeous and lush without being overbearing. Looking forward to bath time!

The 2 minutes of chaos on the intro does not a good jazz bath make, but once it settles down, I could see this being a contender.

Bonus points for the marimba and the fact that it’s one track. 1 jazz bath, 1 track. I dig it.

Admittedly, I haven’t listened to all 30 minutes but will report back. Thanks for the recommendation!

edit: minus points for vocals.
