Soul Bossa Nova –
I’m sure this has been used in tons of adverts as it was very familiar to me. The tune is a right earworm.
Jambo – Dizzy Gillespie
Classic jazz number, got me bopping about.
Dub Lion – DJ Food
Bit of a world music feel but not my thing.
In The Cave – Jacques Dutronc
A pleasant piece of music to have on in the background.
Green Onions – Booker T & the MGs
Dum dum dum dum…. Another familiar earworm number.
Hand Clappin’ – Red Prysock
High tempo jazz number. Does exactly what it says on the tin, I was clapping away.
Limbo Jazz – Duke Ellington & Coleman Hawkins
Lots of trumpet to swing to.
Swingin’ The Mambo – Tito Puente
More funky jazz. Quite relaxing.
Ode To A Butterfly – Nickel Creek
I hear a banjo. Now we’re talking ! I do like a bit of bluegrass and this is very good indeed. I shall be investigating this further.
Bubblehouse – Medeski, Martin & Wood
This one didn’t make much of an impression on me. Impressive playing but it started to irritate a bit as it got faster. Perhaps I just wasn’t in the right mood.
In A Sentimental Mood – John Coltrane & Duke Ellington
Good old-fashioned jazz instrumental.
When I Fall In Love – from Good Night & Good Luck soundtrack
Loved the movie. Love the track. Perfect for a romantic slow-dance.
No Hay Problemo – Pink Martini
Piano-led jazz instrumental. Had the old shoulders going.
Attack of the Mutant Guitars – The Duke Levine Group
Am I right in thinking Duke Levine is Mary Chapin Carpenter’s guitarist ? I like her. Excellent guitar instrumental.
Time Is Tight – Booker T & the MGs
Baby Elephant Walk – Henry Mancini
Another couple of earworms.
Doin It To Death – The JBs
Strollin’ With Mary Jane – Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys
These 2 didn’t make much of an impression, I’m afraid.
Pagan Love Song – Duke Kamoku & His Islanders
Here be ukeleles. Nice Hawaiian feel.
Two Picks And A Bone – T-Bone Walker & friends
Again, something calming to have on in the background.
Ba ba ba ba ba… everybody knows this one. Classic !

yes, Duke is Mary Chapin Carpenter''s guitarist -- and at one time Rounder Records session guitarist. A guitarist's guitarist, he makes godd bands sound better.
Glad you liked!
