Ambient Chill ~ Ambient Cafe' ~ Smooth Jazz

A subtle blend of relaxed beats, smooth guitar, vibes and piano ~ the shimmer of laid-back West Coast ‘surf rock’, the pulsing rhythm of Latin, with the improvisational freedom of jazz.

Zen Music's Smooth Lounge Chill Music is featured regularly on Smooth Jazz Radio playlists globally

What is Smooth Jazz?

Many modern terms label 'relaxation Jazz' – music that evokes a feeling of calm – to relax, to chill-out.

A new underground Lounge/Jazz movement of the early 1990s gave birth to Smooth Jazz, by combining sampled Jazz elements with electronic beats.

Various names for relaxation-style of Jazz music include: Free Jazz, Acid Jazz, Avant-Garde Jazz, Chill Out, Chill Hop, Lounge Jazz, Ambient Jazz, Funk, Chillax, Fusion, Jazz Hop, Smooth Jazz, and Late-Night Piano Bar Jazz. I take inspiration and am influenced by all these various sub-genres of Jazz – I just call my style Ambient Smooth Jazz. My aim is to create a resource for experimental relaxing soundscapes that have a little of these elements 'fused' into each track. Some are a blend of relaxed, laid-back funk-style rhythm with a splash of melody, harmony and a little kick, or beat. Others allow us to immerse deeper into moodier, jazz-inspired excursions, sans beat.

“Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom.” - Charlie Parker - Legendary Jazz Musician

Why is Smooth Jazz Relaxing?

Since stress is the root of many health problems, the relaxing effect of jazz music can have incredible healing influence. It physically changes your body by lowering your heart and respiratory rate. Listening to music (jazz included) directly after a stroke improves verbal memory, focus and mood.

https://www.topmastersinhealthcare.com / mind-body-jazz

“Jazz Music is often considered soothing due to its use of beautiful harmonies, syncopated rhythms, and improvisation. These elements create a sense of unpredictability and spontaneity that can be relaxing to listen to. Smooth Jazz is mellow soundscapes and flowing melodies, can hasten relaxation and lower the blood pressure. As the great drummer Art Blakey once said of jazz, it “washes away the dust of everyday life.” Any music that can do that is not to be sniffed at. (Wiki)”

“Life is a lot like jazz. It is best when you improvise.” - George Gershwin

Ambient Chill / Smooth Lounge Jazz Albums

Laid-back, unhurried, introspective…

These are descriptive terms that often ‘label’ the music and guitar playing style of many of my heroes, like Bill Frisell, and generally the type of music I personally connect with. Equally, and with good reason, they could well describe my own humble music compositions and playing style. - Peter Morley
