Want some new tunes for work. Anything with lyrics can be distracting.
What are some good instrumental, jazz, classical albums I might not be aware of.

Really great jazz from Chicago - I guess they get called experimental or ambient. I could listen to this all day.If anyone checks it out and has jazz suggestions similar to this, please share.

I asked this in another thread, but the kind of jazz I really like is slower, rainy day trumpet and sax and bass. I like to imagine the right jazz like this for a rainy day in New York City in the 50s or something. Might be more blues based.
Now that I'm buying records left and right I'm really interested in getting some good jazz records, but I really don't want stuff that's faster and upbeat unless it has a good ambiance to it. I'm just not into too much upbeat music. Find me the jazz equivalent of Mogwai, Sigur Ros, Godspeed! You Black Emperor, and I'll thank you profusely.

Pretty much anything by Cinematic Orchestra

Also, I highly recommend Dakota Suite. It's a bit melancholy but really good to listen to in the background. Not jazz, but it is instrumental.
