Certain jazz tracks are best heard late at night. iTunes shuffle mode reminded me of this today when pairing "The Moon Song" by Charlie Haden and Pat Metheny with Grover Washington, Jr.'s "East River Drive." Both instrumentals have contemplative vibes, and the relatively subtle bass and guitar playing of Haden and Metheny segues well with Washington's smooth approach to the saxophone.
If you're up late tonight, those two tunes should soothe you--and maybe start you thinking.
