Cool Jazz for a Hot Summer

Reach for this hip playlist if you need to blow away the sun-stoked madness of a bummer summer. It's full of sexy songs from Miles Davis, The Dave Brubeck Quartet, Chet Baker, and others who are highly skilled at tempering the simmering intensity of jazz. Enjoy the vocal stylings of Mel Tormé, and let Duke Ellington gently lead you into the night.
