Soft Slow Jazz Ballads with Brushes

Artie Fufkin · 12-09-2015, 10:29 AM

I'd like to find more music like this

Very slow, soft and airy, preferably with rhodes piano and without brass. Sax and trumpet just don't seem to be soft enough for this style in my opinion.

I looked at his band Vital Information, but have so far only found one song where he uses the brushes. Other than that I'm just aimlessly searching for "jazz ballads".

The last video works, and I quite enjoy it. Waltz For Debby doesn't, but I've found it elsewhere. My Foolish Heart from that album is wonderful.
Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it.

If you enjoy the 'gloomier' side of jazz, you might like Bohren & Der Club Of Gore. Lots of brushing there.
