[2025] A Collection of Western Songs for Dinner [Stylish BGM] (61–70)
Collard Greens and Black Eyed PeasBud Powell
A song titled Collard Greens and Black-Eyed Pea Soup—apparently a soul food staple for Black people! Since it’s a piece themed around such a dish, it has to be delicious jazz! It has a fun vibe that makes listening enjoyable and would make any meal more delightful!
Dinner with FriendsCount Basie Orchestra
The title translates to “Dinner with Friends,” which is perfect for listening at a restaurant.
The track is included on the album “April in Paris,” where you can enjoy the Count Basie Orchestra at the peak of their powers in the 1950s.
The actual tune is relatively up-tempo, so it might not have a laid-back feel, though…
Send It OnD’Angelo
D’Angelo, the great artist known as a pioneer of neo-soul.
He originally worked as a producer, and after transitioning to a singer-songwriter, he played a major role in popularizing the then-unheard-of genre of neo-soul.
Among his works, the one I particularly recommend is Send It On.
Its composition, reminiscent of Al Green, gives the whole track a deeply chill vibe.
It’s perfect for anyone who wants to spend a relaxed, easygoing lunchtime.
Illusion of TimeDaniel Avery & Alessandro Cortini
Two talents who emerged from the UK and Italy respectively, Daniel Avery and Alessandro Cortini.
Their release Illusion of Time on March 27, 2020 is a stylish soundtrack that colors everyday life.
Though the track has no lyrics, its uniquely captivating sound resonates deep within, evoking a sensation of time warping.
Give it a listen on a relaxed evening at home or while doing creative work.
The more you listen, the more it feels like you’re stepping into its depths.
My Favorite ThingsDave Brubeck
This song is famous as one of the numbers from the musical The Sound of Music.
It’s also known in Japan by the title “My Favorite Things.” It has been performed by many jazz musicians, and this version is by the American pianist Dave Brubeck.
Its simple yet beautiful melody pairs wonderfully with the piano.
Take FiveDave Brubeck
This piece, composed by Paul Desmond and included on the Dave Brubeck Quartet’s 1959 album, is written in 5/4 time.
The flowing sound of Desmond’s alto saxophone and that famous 5/4 opening by Dave Brubeck—the piano pattern—seem like they would make a restaurant meal even more enjoyable.
Suave y pegao (feat. Rafa Pabön)Daymé Arocena
Daymé Arocena is a Cuban singer-songwriter who enjoys exceptionally high acclaim among hardcore music aficionados around the world.
Her signature style weaves Yoruba folk songs and Yoruba spirituality into Afro-Cuban jazz, and depending on the track, she sometimes leans into techno or R&B.
Among her many talents, the piece I especially recommend for lunchtime is “Suave y pegao (feat.
Rafa Pabön).” While grounded in Afro-Cuban jazz, the track is arranged to carry a smooth R&B essence throughout.
It’s passionate yet stylish—perfect for anyone looking to add a chic touch to their lunch hour.
