Forgive our mellowness, but some days there’s nothing like a quiet morning with a good soundtrack and a hot cup of coffee or tea to make you feel like the world is a pretty nice place after all. In that spirit, here’s a jazz playlist that leans on the softer side of things: warm ripples of sound, half-thoughts coming into focus, possibility unfolding like an open road. Our editors update picks here now and then, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
