I've never been much of a jazz guy, I normally just stick to what's on the top twenty charts. But I've come across a couple songs I like and want to explore it more. Problem is jazz seems to be such a wide-ranging genre of music I can't find the sub-genre or type that sparked my interest.

Two songs I really like are Billy Holiday's Turned the Tables on Me and also La Vie en Rose. I categorize them as classic lounge room music. You know, the kind of stuff you would listen to in a 1930's club from a women in a red dress with a dark, throaty voice as you drank your scotch on the rocks. It's very calm, and soothing, and slow.

What do you call that kinda of jazz music? or does it even qualify as a subset?
