Beegie Adair

27 tracks across 3 playlists

Nashville's Beegie Adair — the cool-jazz piano stalwart whose 'Centennial Composers' series and Christmas-album catalog have been a quiet, swinging dinner-party fixture for decades. The trio recordings (with Roger Spencer and Chris Brown) have become the kind of cocktail-jazz programming that everyone hears at every nice restaurant in America without ever noticing the credit. Crate-cut elegance; a national chill-out resource. She passed in 2022; the catalog is still the standard.
