Since you like Jazz I would recommend a couple of Van Morrisons cds. I don't know how you would classify them. The latest one Magic Time is mostly old standards and it's not rock & not jazz. Astral Weeks is more like folk but it's not folk I'm too ignorant to classify it correctly. It's just mellow music that moves me for sure. You can have it for background or let yourself be drawn into it. Any of Mark Knopflers solo cds are good. Most are great but none are bad. On Sailing to Philadelphia he does a duet with James Taylor and one with Van Morrison. His guitar work is clean, articulate and captivating. If you want to know a little about the Mason-Dixon Line it's there in one song. Ok, end of review I've run out of superlatives
