Relaxing Jazz Music: 5 Long Café and Lounge Videos for Work and Study

Five long jazz music YouTube videos — café jazz, a New York lounge, piano jazz, rainy coffee-shop ambience, and bossa nova for work and study.

Jazz is one of the easiest genres to work to — there is a melody, but it rarely demands your attention the way songs with lyrics do.

I picked long café and lounge mixes with a bit of range, from rainy coffee-shop jazz to a New York bar and brighter bossa nova.

The 5 picks

Relaxing Jazz Music - Background Chill Out Music - Music For Relax,Study,Work

Channel
Cafe Music BGM channel
Length
About 3 hours 33 minutes

A reliable, all-purpose relaxing jazz mix that stays in the background instead of pulling your attention. This is the default pick to start a work or study session with.

Just imagine you're in a cosy café, it's raining outside and you are drinking a good cup of coffee. Just imagine.

New York Jazz Lounge - Bar Jazz Classics

Channel
Jazz and Blues Experience
Length
49 minutes

Slower bar-jazz classics with more of a late-evening lounge feel. The shortest pick here, so it works better for a relaxed hour than a full work block.

I'm poor but this music makes me feel like a freaking billionaire.

4K Cozy Coffee Shop with Smooth Piano Jazz Music for Relaxing, Studying and Working

Channel
Relaxing Jazz Piano
Length
About 3 hours 35 minutes

Smooth piano jazz over a 4K cozy coffee shop scene — this is the one with an actual visual, so it doubles as a calm background for the screen as well as the ears.

Such a calm and soothing track.

Forest Cafe Jazz Music | Morning Tranquil Jazz with Nature Sounds

Channel
Tranquill Jazz Melody
Length
About 3 hours 22 minutes

Jazz layered over soft forest and nature sounds — a little greener than the city-café picks. The added birdsong makes it the most relaxing of the set for a slow morning of work.

My son once asked me, 'when everyone gets older, do they start liking jazz?' I answered, 'well, if they have a great love for music they do!'

Positive JAZZ - Morning Music To Start The Day

Channel
Lounge Music
Length
About 2 hours 10 minutes

The brighter, more upbeat pick of the set — daytime jazz with a bit of lift to it. Good for morning work when the slower café and lounge mixes feel a little too sleepy.

Working at home right now. Reduced so much stress thanks to this!
