B

Claude Bolling, Vintage Bolling

I Couldn't Find Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano (with Jean Pierre Rampal) which is an old time favorite.  This is also an excellent album, a Best of, and contains several cuts from the aforementioned album.  Uplifting, Spirited and Musically Tight yet Casual and very comfortable. Great music to share with others.

Dave Brubeck Quartet, Time Out

The Jazz Album to own.  Brubeck and Paul Desmond on his silky smooth sax produce the classics Take Five and Rondo ala Turk.

C

D

Miles Davis, Sketches of Spain

        Probably the "coolest" album of all time, Miles Davis reaches into his own Soul and finds Spain.

E

Environments, Psychologically Ultimate Seashore

        Over an hour of Calming, Ocean Sounds

Environments, Tintinnabulation

        Over an hour of Calming, Bell and Chime Sounds

Environments, Dawn & Dusk at New Hope, PA

        Over an hour of Calming, Nature Sounds

Enya, Paint the Sky with Stars:  The Best of Enya

Enya, Watermark

Enya, The Memory of Trees

Enya, Shepherd Moons

All of Enya's albums are worthwhile although she often sounds the same to me.  If that is the case for you also, then be sure to get the Best of Enya.   Hard to pick a favorite of the individual albums, they are all consistently good.   I think Watermark is my personal favorite...also, the one I've been playing longest.

G

Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto, Getz/Gilberto

        Simple, very laid back, Serenade Music for a quiet tropical evening~ Desafinado, the ultimate.

H

Steven Halpern, Spectrum Suite

        Tune Up your body with these electronic color sounds

K

Kitaro, Best of Ten Years

Ten Years Worth of magical sounds from Kitaro.  If you only have one Kitaro, and every "Newager" should, get this one.

L

Riley & Gabriel Lee, Satori

        A sublime meeting of shakuhachi and koto

Ottmar Liebert, Nouveau Flamenco

      Exciting, heart thumping Flamenco stylings

R. Carlos Nakai, Mythic Dreamer

R. Carlos Nakai, Spirit Horses:  Concerto for Native Americans

R. Carlos Nakai, Sundance Season

R. Carlos Nakai& Paul Horn, Inside Canyon DeChelly

Lots to choose from here, but you can't really go wrong with any Carlos selection.  Carlos is a master of the flute and a master of spirit and seems to integrate these as he creates the sounds of  connection and liberation.  I always end up somehow at Mesa Verde in my visualizations as I hear the wind in Nakai's music.  I thought the Paul Horn collaboration weakened the usual energy of Nakai, others love this particular work.   I would say that Nakai is without peer.  [Lots of Nakai to listen to at Amazon]

Native Flute Ensemble, Riding Thunder

        A favorite at Spiritwalk.   Great Listening, a bit intense for meditation

O

Mike Oldfield, Tubular Bells

     Amazing, Calming Sounds

Oregon, Out of the Woods

       Mellow Oboe and other Woodwinds.  A classic.
