Ella And LouisElla Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong – Ella & Louis (Full Album)

A gem of a jazz album woven from beautiful vocals will make your dinner feel all the more special.

The heartwarming duets by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong work perfectly as pleasant background music that won’t disrupt conversation, while still carrying an irresistible charm that draws you in.

Recorded in August 1956, this work showcases their voices in exquisite harmony, casting new brilliance on a host of jazz standards.

The melodies that melt into a gentle dinnertime will enrich the moments you spend enjoying your meal.

It’s a wonderful record that adds a touch of elegance to conversations with someone dear.

LatelyStevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder – Lately

A sad ballad recorded with only piano, bass, and vocals.

Released in 1981, it reached No.

3 on the UK charts.

It has been covered by acts such as Jodeci and was sampled in PWRD’s 2000 track “Obecna Chwila.”

La femme d’argentAir

La femme d’argent

Air, the electronic duo that France is proud of.

The two members, each a multi-talented artist, craft a distinctly French, sophisticated sound that enjoys tremendous popularity in the fashion and film industries as well.

The track introduced here opens their landmark debut album Moon Safari, released in 1998.

Genres like electronica, ambient, and lounge blend together like a daydream, and the floating sonics put you in a blissfully dreamy state.

It’s even been used as background music in Tomorrowland at Tokyo Disneyland—so many of you may have been curious about it.

If you didn’t know whose song it was, take this opportunity to check it out!

Let’s Stay TogetherAl Green

Al Green – Let’s Stay Together (Official Audio)

The legendary soul singer Al Green.

He’s one of the leading artists of the New Soul era, but his style is closer to today’s Neo Soul, and his forward-looking, groove-centered approach is still highly acclaimed.

Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is “Let’s Stay Together.” With its sweet-and-tangy lyrics and groovy melody, it’s perfect for lunchtime.

The track delivers a sense of satisfaction while keeping things light overall, making it a great pick for anyone who wants to enjoy a cool, refreshing lunch.

A la ModeArt Blakey & The Jazz Messengers

Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers – À la Mode

When you hear “à la mode,” many people probably think of desserts like pudding à la mode, don’t they? I’m not sure what the song title is meant to convey, but its upbeat and bright tone seems like it would lift your spirits and even make the food taste better!

You Go to My HeadArt Pepper

Art Pepper Quartet – You Go to My Head

This song is a jazz standard with lyrics that say you intoxicate my mind like alcohol, weaving in references to champagne and other kinds of drinks.

Art Pepper’s cool-toned ballad seems perfect for enhancing the mood in a restaurant.
