Jet Sounds

I travel. Often.

As such it is critical to have a constant supply of excellent travel music easily accessible to help melt away the hours of layover in various airports across the US. One of my all time favorite jet-setting albums is the aptly named Jet Sounds by Nicola Conte. The entire album has an unmistakably bossa nova/bossa Italia sound to it, fused with acid jazz and wrapped in the soft uptempo beat of modern lounge.

Essentially it's the perfect soundtrack for flying, regardless of whether you are on a top secret government mission or merely on your way to crunch numbers in Columbus, OH. If you aren't up for forking out the extra dough for the import, you can pick up the US version entitled Bossa per Due, which was retitled in accordance to the most well known US single release of the same name featured in an incredibly irritating Acura commercial.

If Nicola Conte tickles your fancy I also highly recommend dZihan & Kamien and Jazzanova.
