Hello Escapist, I need some help finding some more music like the song below. I don't know where it came from it was just there in my IPhone and it randomly just started playing but I found myself liking the relaxing song so I was trying to look for some more like it except that I have no idea what kind of music it is. So could any of you recommend me something similar to this? Many thanks.

Dive into cool jazz, Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue is one of the best. It's not as "peaceful" but I still find it just as nice.

Otherwise look up more of Acri's stuff. I think he's a pretty well traveled pianist so there should be plenty of material around for you to discover. Also, I still Believe by Eric Reed is pretty similar to this so have a look at that and his stuff. Overall a search of "piano jazz" should get you somewhere.

Finally, I picked up a bunch of random jazz compilation albums with names like "Jazz for wining and dining" and "Jazz for Sunday afternoons" and stuff like that years ago. They had some pretty chill stuff.

Bill Evans is kind of similar to that

Eric Satie is worth checking out as well

Claude Debussy can sound a little similar (a few impressionist composers will, for that matter)

Duke Ellington has a huge catalog and range when it comes to jazz, but some of his material during the 60's shares some common musical motifs as the aforementioned musicians.
