Don't be scared by this trumpet, he plays very layed back in this album along with john coltrane. It's a very calm album. Theres only like 6 long tracks so you don't hear disturbances between tracks too often. Everybody should have this album. I don't use it for falling asleep though.
Edit: I beleive McCoy Tyner has some good sleepy albums with only piano, DB, and drums.

I made a 'sleep' tape for him with my ARP 2600 (you could any programable synth). Just set a really slow LFO to modulate the cutoff filter of some white noise... then I double tracked this with an hour long take of my vacuum sweeper... did the trick!
Try not to train yourself to fall asleep to music.

Just take a portable radio and set it in no particular station at low volume. Works just as well as those phony rain machines...

I haven't heard of most of the artists(Jazz has many, many artists - as you all know) but there really is some great relaxing stuff on there. |

| | | | Paul Desmond - Bossa Antigua. Very relaxing. (He played saxophoneo on Brubeck's "Take Five")
Most of the stuff from the Stan Getz Bossa Nova years is very relaxing.
