What's the best cooking music, Veeky Forums?

I need that obnoxious bass in my kitchen:

A bit of jazz is fine, too:

First post in this thread

Half of my family consists of professional musicians and composers, I've played multiple instruments since I was a toddler, most of my friends growing up and through college were musicians and music majors, mostly at top-tier conservatories such as Juilliard and so on

There is nothing wrong with calling Stravinsky or Gershwin or Piazzolla "classical music", only a /mu/-tier sperg with little or no involvement with the music world, the kind of neckbeard who describes everything as ___core to validate his fascination with a shitty band, would go BUT AYCTYULLY the classical period ended in the 19th century blarg blarg blarg

As a cultured person, I give you full permission to say "classical" in the common vernacular sense of the word that holds everyone from Alfonso X through and including Hans Zimmer to be "classical composers"

There are contexts in which it's necessary to be less casual with the terminology but in a generic context it's completely fine

Thank you CultureBro!

For me its either instrumental bluegrass, classical or disco, if I'm really high the doors

I'm with you OP. Huge jazz fan, though particular to stuff from the 20's through the 50's. Cooking for me is a form of relaxation, meditation, and inspiration. Come home from work, pour a drink, turn on the tunes, open the fridge, check the pantry, get to work. Two albums that are absolutely indispensable are Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" and Cannonball Adderly's "Something Else." Here's "Autumn Leaves" from the Adderly album: m.youtube.com/watch?v=tguu4m38U78

This was my grandfather-in-law's favorite song. I like it before I ever met him, but now, every time I hear it, I think of him, and how he used to tell me dirty jokes at family gatherings, and all the nice things he said about his grandson the day before he died.

Jazz and/or funk

I need something slightly chaotic to keep me moving quickly. Stuff like Nat King Cole is a little too mild for me when cooking, but still quality music in other situations.

Gershwin is the shit. Nina Simone's version of "I Loves You Porgy" from "Porgy and Bess" is jaw dropping; she did it a lot, and some versions are better than others, but when she hits it, it makes you put down the knife and listen. Woody Allen uses "Rhapsody" to great effect in the opening sequence to his film "Manhattan," a great movie btw.

80s new wave

I listen to Bon Jovi when making Jell-O molds.

Fine choice user. I've seen them so many times I've lost count. One of the best most memorable shows was in an intimate little dark setting, maybe 50 people. If you like funk, check out the meters, the funky meters, and Herbie Hancock

I like talk radio.

NPR or Howard Stern

Vaporwave is the disgusting jell-o molds of music. It is like why does it even need to exist.
