How 'bout some ambient, new-age type music?

I haven’t listened to him in a long time, but I remember Andreas Vollenweider as being very soothing. Tangerine Dream too.

How 'bout smooth jazz stuff (ick. sorry). Rick Braun, Bony James, Kirk Whalum, etc.

**mrblue** , you like Diana Krall!? I knew there was a reason I liked you. She’s my fave!

Oh yea. _drool_

I remember you mentioning her at Dopefest in December, and IIRC, I said there was a short-lived thread about her. She had piqued my curiosity about jazz after seeing her on _Sessions at West 54th_. I have 3 or 4 of her CD’s now.

I’ll second Peter Gabriel’s Passion & Aohex Twin SAW II. Beautiful stuff.

You could also try **Moon Safari** , by Air. It’s vaguely retro-ish '70s sounding dance music, upbeat without being frantic, very much ‘chill-out’ material.

I’ve only got one…_When I Look In Your Eyes_. But I love it. Listening to it now. Helps me clear my head before I go on stage.
