Songs I'd like to listen to while camping: Jazzy BGM (1–10)
Narrow DaylightDiana Krall
Diana Krall is one of Canada’s leading female jazz vocalists.
She also shines as a singer-songwriter, scoring hits with both covers and original songs.
Among her works, a track I particularly recommend is “Narrow Daylight.” Although it’s crafted as a slow jazz piece, it doesn’t evoke a nighttime mood; instead, it carries a relaxed, early-morning atmosphere.
How about listening to it on an early morning at a campsite, coffee in hand?
Better DaysAoki Karen
When it comes to the appeal of camping, many people probably picture setting up base and cooking meals.
Those are certainly highlights of the experience.
However, we shouldn’t forget about the time before going to sleep.
Since it feels different from your usual bed, many people want to drift off as relaxed as possible.
For those folks, I recommend the song “Better Days,” sung by Karen Aoki.
The calm atmosphere created by slow jazz will help soothe your mind.
Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words)Nat King Cole
Nat King Cole, the great jazz vocalist known for his impressively rich, low-toned voice.
Anyone who enjoys standard jazz will surely know him.
One of his classics is “Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words).” While many artists have covered this piece, Cole’s version stands out by staying faithful to the original in 3/4 time.
Its relaxed melody is a perfect match for the calm atmosphere of camping!
The Girl From IpanemaAmy Winehouse
Amy Winehouse, a soul singer who represents the UK.
Sadly, she passed away at a young age, but during her life she released songs across various genres and stirred up the scene.
One of her jazz numbers is The Girl From Ipanema.
It’s a sophisticated track that feels like a mix of neo-soul and jazz.
With its cheerful melody, I think it’s perfect for a camping scene where you take a midday break.
Ain’t Misbehavin’Carmen McRae
Carmen McRae was one of the most prominent female jazz singers of the 20th century.
If you listen to standard jazz, you probably know her as a famous vocalist alongside Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan.
Among her works, the track I especially recommend for camping is Ain’t Misbehavin’.
Although it’s arranged as slow jazz, the melody has a cheerful vibe, making it perfect for evening chill time.
Midnight 510Karumera
Calmera is one of Japan’s leading instrumental jazz bands.
Like a crossover act, they often mix elements of rock and pop into jazz, making their music approachable even for those who don’t usually listen to jazz.
Among their works, a track we especially recommend for camping is “Midnight 510.” With its brilliant, festive melody, it’s perfect for lively nighttime fun with friends.
Be sure to check it out.
I Love You For Sentimental ReasonsLaura Fygi
The jazz standard “I Love You for Sentimental Reasons,” released in 1945.
Nat King Cole’s cover is the most well-known, becoming a global hit with its gentle melody and masculine lyrics.
This time, we’re featuring the version by Dutch singer Laura Fygi.
Her rendition carries a sultry, nighttime vibe.
Perfect as post-dinner background music at your campsite.
