What kind of jazz is good for a rainy night? A. Slow ballads with a soft rhythm section suit rain best: piano, upright bass, brushed drums and an unhurried voice. This playlist keeps that sound for 34 songs, all between 54 and 68 BPM and all about rain. Q. Does this video have rain sounds? A. It is a music playlist, not a rain-ambience video. The rain is in the lyrics and the mood, and there is no continuous rain track over the music. Q. Is this playlist good for studying, reading or sleeping? A. It stays slow and quiet from the first song to the last, which suits reading and winding down at night. Every song has lyrics, so if words distract you while you study, play it at low volume. Q. Are these covers of jazz standards? A. No. All 34 songs are original Parlor Keys compositions, inspired by the mood of classic jazz standards rather than covering them.
