Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This fine compilation sustains a mellow sultriness for its 61-minute duration, putting an emphasis on timeless ballads and reflective, romantic tunes. Highlights include a marvelous rendition of "Body and Soul," featuring the dual tenors of Zoot Sims and Al Cohn, and a beautiful, Coltrane-inspired "Estate" by the young tenor saxophonist Antoine Roney. The compilation also contains some slow blues from alto greats Sonny Criss and Sonny Stitt. It ends appropriately enough on a Milesian mode, with trumpet men Russell Gunn and Wallace Roney each delivering a lovely, candle-lit sound poem. This well-balanced disc equally rewards attentive listening as well as provides the perfect sonic atmosphere for those ever-valuable quiet times. --Wally Shoup

5 out of 5 stars additional comments to previous reviewer; reissue minus 1........2006-01-25

In addition to the comments made by the other reviewer, I'd like to add, if you compare the original 32 Jazz release (which I have) and the Savoy Jazz release, it is minus one song (Savoy's) "Estate".
That probably meant, if included issuing it as a 3 disc set.
I'm sure on the Savoy reissues, Estate shows up somewhere.
Still, not a bad set.

4 out of 5 stars A Good Mix, But Note..........2004-01-14

This CD is a slightly extended version of the same release by 32 Jazz (the one with supermodel Leticia Casta on the cover). Where the 32 Jazz release has 11 songs on one CD, this new release contains 19 songs on 2 CDs. The song blend is superb; a great Sunday morning disc. Just wanted to give the original 32 Jazz owners a little heads up about this new collection. The choice is yours to invest in another, very similar CD, or stick with the one you already have.

For those who are new to both collections, you will be pleased with the quality and mood of this CD.

4 out of 5 stars It's a must for your collection.......2005-09-09

Great music just to listen to. Whether you're cooking, puttering around the house or commuting to work. I'm always looking for a sound that is relaxing and doesn't interfere (if I don't want it to) and this is one of them. Great for dinner as well, although I'm not sure that you could classify it as dinner music. I had never actually heard the whole CD, so I was pleasantly surprised with all of it. I highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars Soft, sexy and soothing.......2002-05-19

What can I say? I truly enjoy listing to this CD when I want an evening of pure sensual soft easy jazz. Just mellows you out and I love it.

4 out of 5 stars Peaceful Pleasure.......2001-11-25

Body and Soul By Al Cohn and Zoot Sims is lush and peaceful: it's a really beautiful song. If you like soft, peaceful jazz, you'll like this album. Also, definitely try Jazz For A Rainy Afternoon.

5 out of 5 stars Good music for relaxing, or making love.......2001-10-18

The "Jazz for..." series by Jazz32 was an important influence in first getting me interested in jazz. Then I saw Ken Burns' TV series on the history of jazz and that got me still more interested, to the point that I have gotten beyond the "various artists" albums phase for most of my new CD purchases. This CD, "Jazz for the Quiet Times," introduced me to a great tenor sax player, Houston Person. Since then I have bought two of his albums. It also introduced me to Kenny Burrell (guitar) and other great soul/groove jazz performers. Most of the performers on this Jazz32 series are in the soul/groove style, which is not too cerebral, but great for easy listening and getting into a mood, whether driving, working, swinging, relaxing, or loving. Or cooking. I play this music when I'm having a beer and cooking supper. Also recommended in this series: "Jazz for a Rainy Afternoon," which is similar in mood to "Quiet Times," and "Jazz for the Open Road," which is more upbeat.

5 out of 5 stars absolutly the best.......2000-05-26

I am only 23, but have been into jazz for about 6 years. The whole Jazz For series is fantastic. As each comes out i have a copy reserved and am first to receive it. I cannot reccomend strongly enough that you try this CD. Disappointment will not be a factor.
