First track on your first recommendation had me puzzled. I felt as if the drummer, bassist etc were out of time with each other. I’ll give it a few more listens and see if somehow I can get in tune with it.

Yes, sometimes it's a bit tricky to listen to this kind of music at first, but super fun.

KALI Trio
Loom

Fantasic post-minimalism jazz. Very Portico Quartet-like.

If the Hawk still watches...he should check this out.

Excellent live album from 1981.

Mary Halvorson Quintet
Bending Bridges

She might be the most underrated jazz musician working today.

I don't know if anybody here like Paavo or Fire! Orchestra but Sofia Jernberg who sings in both units took her style DIRECTLY from Norma here. It's uncanny. Wonderful style of singing. Fantastic album.

Never heard Brubeck's Lullabies, I might peep it after hearing this though. Sounds like great calming background music I could use for work.

Miles Davis - E.S.P.

Great album.

Found a singer recently, Paule Desjardins, that has a lot of musics that sound like this, or a bit like this, and have a very soothing effect, in particular from the album Mademoiselle de Paris, came to the forum looking for an answer, et voilà, I imagine they are called lullabies.

One is Bien Trop Belle and the medleys La Seine/ Le Gamin de Paris, En avril à Paris/ I love Paris.
