Welcome to After Glow — one hour of ChillHop, Neo Soul, Smooth Jazz and JazzHop for commuting, city walks, working, reading and everyday background listening.

Jazz and the modern city have been connected for more than a century. During the early twentieth century, cities including New Orleans, Chicago and New York became major centers in jazz history as musicians, audiences and musical ideas moved between regions.

Hip-hop emerged from a different period of urban American history. Developing in New York City during the 1970s, it eventually created another important connection with jazz. Producers sampled jazz recordings, transforming piano passages, horns, bass lines and drum breaks into new musical contexts.

By the late 1980s and early 1990s, jazz rap made that relationship especially visible. Artists such as A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul and Gang Starr became associated with productions that frequently drew from jazz and soul.

Neo Soul later added another branch to this musical conversation, combining influences from soul and R&B with elements of jazz, funk and hip-hop.

Modern JazzHop and ChillHop inherit pieces of all these traditions: hip-hop rhythms, jazz-influenced harmony, warm keys and relaxed instrumental grooves.

This 1-hour After Glow mix is built for movement without urgency.

Play it while commuting, walking through the city, working, studying, reading, driving or simply keeping music in the background.

After Glow — music for the hours that don’t need to hurry.
