Chillaxing after a long day at the beach with some urban Nu-Jazz with a lounge-like feel. Sometimes I find that the best way to shake off the heat of the day is with some cool rhythms, jazzy hooks, and laid-back vibes.

I came across this particular vein of Nu-Jazz about 2 years ago after I was recommended Zero 7's "Another Late Night" through iTunes. I like Nu-Jazz that has a good mix of breaks and colorful instruments, tied together by a smooth, casual groove and flow. Represented here are some of the most chilled out tracks of mine that fit that criteria. I tend to play these on quiet evenings, reclining on the couch with a magazine and the lights down low. I'd love to settle myself in tastefully decorated New York apartment right now, with the glow of the city lights to set the tone.

Here are this week's picks:
