The City's About to Wake Up | Cafe Leblanc, 5 AM | Smooth Jazz & Coffee

An hour of original smooth jazz for the last stretch before the city wakes — for deep focus work, quiet studying, or winding down before sleep. Original smooth jazz composed for this video, inspired by the atmosphere of a small Tokyo backstreet cafe in the small hours. Rhodes electric piano, breathy tenor saxophone, clean electric guitar and warm Hammond organ — mixed low so it sits behind whatever you're doing. Layered underneath: stray drops slipping from the gutters outside, an occasional notebook page turning, and a low continuous room hum. Headphones recommended. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ CHAPTERS 00:00 The City Stirs 09:15 Last Drops From the Gutter 18:30 Grey Light Rising 27:45 Quiet Before Traffic 37:00 Almost Morning 46:15 Steam and Stillness 55:30 The Night Hands Off ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All music in this video is original, composed and arranged for this channel.
