I know that in the mid and late-'70s these guys (guitarist Laurindo Almeida, bassist Ray Brown, drummer Shelly Manne and sax player Bus Shank), were quite popular in jazz circles.  Judging by this album, their work is certainly relaxing, but not particularly my style. 

That said, the Taishi Hirokawa album cover was stunning. Judge for yourself ...
