Music to enjoy and relax

Relax Now and Reduce Your Stress with Music. 

The ancient Greeks believed music could heal and used it to treat certain physical ailments. As it turns out they were on to something. The rhythm, or beat, of music does in fact have an immediate effect on the body. As you listen to music your heart rate decreases and sets in motion the relaxation process, which includes less tension in the muscles, clearer thoughts and slower breathing. Immediately, music can create an overall calming effect that slows bodies and minds down. While professionals don't know exactly how music has this effect, it is no mistake that it does. It has been proven that over time, relaxing music reduces both blood pressure and anxiety levels.

Music causes the hormone serotonin to accelerate. This "feel-good" chemical helps promote happiness and keeps moods in check while assisting with anxiety levels. Since low serotonin levels can lead to depression, music can help keep you in good spirits with positive emotions. Some say music has this effect because musical rhythm emulates the beating sound we heard in our mother's womb, which later in life relates us back to that comforting and safe environment.

While even upbeat music can calm its biggest fans, the music with the most calming capability is usually slower-tempo melodies and those with repetitive notes and sounds (jazz, classical). However, every type of music will have a different effect on every person, so what relaxes one might cause another to energize. A good way to test if a particular song or type of music is relaxing to you is to check your pulse. If your pulse quickens to a certain beat, then the music is actually more exciting than relaxing. If your pulse and breathing slow down, then you have found the music that will calm you down and help your body relax.

Miles Davis - On the Corner (1972)

On the Corner is a studio album by jazz musician Miles Davis, recorded in June and July 1972 and released later that year on Columbia Records. It was scorned by critics at the time of its release and was one of Davis's worst-selling recordings. Its critical standing has improved dramatically with the passage of time, as it is now seen as a strong forerunner of the musical techniques of post punk, hip hop, drum and bass, and electronic music.

Abrax (1970)

Este álbum é uma pérola que encontrei há alguns anos no Blog do Nirso. É um disco raríssimo de Jazz Rock Instrumental, com uma batida muito forte. Abrax foi uma banda cult francesa da década de 70. Ouçam que vale a pena.

The suite was recorded in 1975 by Bolling, classical flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal, bassist Max Hédiguer, and drummer Marcel Sabiani, and originally released as an LP album by CBS Masterworks Records and Columbia Masterworks. In the U.S., the album was nominated in 1975 for a Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music Performance.

Em 1991 Sanborn gravou Another Hand, que o All Music Guide to Jazz descriveu como um "regresso de Sanborn ao seu real e verdadeiro amor: um sem adorno (ou apenas parcialmente adornado) jazz" que "a balanceia as escalas" com o seu material de smotth jazz.
