Bird on The Granddaddy of all Strings albums. Lush Bebop. You can almost see April in Paris. Perfect for cafe au lait and Gauloises at a sidewalk cafe. If you don't own this, you don't dig jazz. CHARLIE PARKER.

Late Model Getz. A collection of Ballads from 3 different LIVE sets at Cafe Montmartre. Remember when you could smoke in restaurants? Now you have to go to Europe to do that. But, you can smoke this here.

Smoke 'em if ya got 'em! Gorgeous piano Ballads from a Master of Kool. BILL EVANS.

Take a long slow drag off of this one. The best smokin' Ballads you've never heard. COLEMAN HAWKINS.

The King of Kool. This LIVE set is like two hot cherries burning in the dark. Too bad he never recorded a Strings album. SKETCHES OF SPAIN has strings. But, only Spanish bullfighters with thick accents, and well versed in the art of seduction, should attempt that one. MILES DAVIS.

Coltrane with the smoky barritone of Johnny Hartman. If you really want to seal the deal with a sophisticated lady you may have to shuffle this with Trane's BALLADS. JOHN COLTRANE and JOHNNY HARTMAN.

Unique Blend of Kool. The mood is for sitting on a Sunday morning near the bay window. Perfect for coffee and Kools. Some smoky clarinet playing on Blues In The Night. ART PEPPER.

A Non-Filtered tribute to Lady Day. ZOOT SIMS with JIMMY ROWLES.

If you play this one on a first date you may need a cigarette later. So Kool it's scary. This should come with the Surgeon General's Warning, CAUTION: MAY CAUSE BABIES. GERRY MULLIGAN.

Two Giants of jazz on an iceberg of Mentholated Kool. BEN WEBSTER and OSCAR PETERSON.

When she leaves you and you're down to your last cigarette, spin this. Contains the 2 Moodsville albums NICE N KOOL and THE SOULFUL MOODS OF GENE AMMONS. GENE AMMONS.

My favorite Chet Baker collection of Ballads is perfect for Kool Romance and smokin' hot butts. CHET BAKER.

Smoky Ballads from the Master of the Blues Tenor. So smoky I can't see the band. STANLEY TURRENTINE.

Lou steps away from his funky organ-laced Soul Jazz for a moment, and blows alto with some Ultra-Lush Blues and Ballad arrangements. Wayne Shorter makes an appearance. Perfect for smokin' Kools in the rain.

HOLY SMOKES! Duke's boy laying down the shmooze. So sexy I'd be afraid to play this in front of your wife. Smokin' Strayhorn Ballad arrangements. JOHNNY HODGES with BILLY STRAYHORN.

Stan Getz wasn't the only one to blow Samba Ballads. Perfect for slow samba dancin' and Kools. BLUE NOTE A&R man IKE QUEBEC.

The current King of Blues with Strings. My advice to Mr. Marsalis; stay away from Willie Nelson. There's no telling what that cat is smokin'. WYNTON MARSALIS.

The Second best Ballad album by Ol' Blue Eyes. Sinatra with Strings and more... So, grab your coat, your hat, and your Zippo, we have to go get Frank. He's smokin' on the corner again. FRANK SINATRA with NELSON RIDDLE.

The Koolest Lush arranger to ever hold a pool cue and a cigarette. Gleason learned to arrange music just to woo women. These are his first. His mission: helping guys score. This is gorgeous music. How sweet it is!!! JACKIE GLEASON with a little help from BOBBY HACKETT.

Or get this Remastered Capitol Anthology. This one includes some of his arrangements with The Velvet Brass. I would have to change the title to HAVING A SMOKE WITH JACKIE GLEASON. Enjoy.
