Kelela just released a live album that's so stunning (In the Blue Light), she touches on how her Dad instilled the jazz gene in her and it showsss.
Sade - Promise is also very smooth jazz sounding, and tbh who can say no to the soothing tones of Sade in the morning?
Would be amiss not to mention some Bossa Nova - my go-to picks are a lovers pair, Astrud Gilberto (The Astraud Gilberto Album) and Joao Gilberto (Getz/Gilberto #2 - Live at Carnegie Hall)

Earlier jazz may fit this bill well. Check out the New Orleans Rhythm Kings. I‘m actually listing to some of their work right now, and I can envision it fitting this vibe. You may also like the work of Ruth Ettings for early vocal work. In terms of later work, you may find Ella Fitzgerald’s work with Joe Pass good for this. Scott LaFaro’s and Fats Navarro’s work too. For perhaps deeper cuts: Richard “Groove” Holmes’ album “Living Soul,” as well as the work of Don Byas.

leaves you susceptible to dating someone for too long because they play a role rather than it being about who they are. if you go in open to every situation, it will play out as its supposed to naturally (sometimes with a little nudge)
