If you get bored with jazz (I highly recommend Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto #2, Live at Carnegie Hall), and the kids are restless, throw the Ramones on in the backyard and let them run around and scream for a little bit. Freaks out the neighbors, but it does calm down *your* kids eventually. btw: I rocked Tears for Fears the other day for the first time in ages...that's really good stuff.
Man, I love Latin jazz..thanks for the suggestion!!! I'd suggest back Sinatra with Antonio Carlos Jobim if you get a chance. Despite it not being Sinatra's typical music (which I love Sinatra at the Sands for!!), it's my favorite Sinatra album. His voice pairs so well over Latin jazz and is so ridiculously baritone on so many of the songs on that album. I have great memories of listening to that album from start to finish on car trips with my parents growing up. Yeah, Tears for Fears is so underrated it's criminal. Their music holds up so well despite being born out of the 80's synthesizer era. "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" and "Head Over Heels" are among my favorite songs of all time.

Jose James did a whole album of Bill Withers songs that's quite good. as an aside, i don't think BW died from Covid, but i may have missed some detail.
