Martini Lounge #1111
Thirteen tracks of cocktail-hour piano-and-strings programming — calibrated for a hotel bar where the bartender is wearing a vest. Beegie Adair handles the standards-piano-trio core; Buddy Cole brings the lounge-organ legacy that connects the run to the ’50s Vegas-era cocktail canon; Jack Jezzro drops in for the guitar-led standards bridge that softens the room without flattening the pulse. Built for an hour and a half of background time — long enough to cover the cocktail rush, short enough to refresh before the dinner-service playlist takes over. The hotel-bar-grade lounge tape, programmed in November 2011 and still working.
