Jazz or piano?

The library has 586 Jazz & Bossa Nova tracks and 265 Piano Solo tracks. Together they run from 54 to 220 BPM, with a median near 96.

Videos and podcasts

For narrated videos, piano gives you more space than jazz because there are fewer moving parts. For lifestyle, food and travel videos, jazz adds a bit of personality. Keep the music clearly below the voice in either case.

Cafés, shops and waiting rooms

For a physical space, pick tracks with a steady tempo and similar loudness so the playlist can run for hours. The typical track is about 2:44 long, so about 23 tracks fill an hour. See the café and shop guide for more.

Presentations and slideshows

For slide decks and photo slideshows, piano is usually the safest choice. Pick a track long enough to cover the whole piece so you do not need to loop it.

A quick selection workflow

  1. Decide whether the scene needs a bit of personality (jazz) or quiet space (piano).
  2. Preview 20 seconds under your real voice or footage.
  3. Check tempo against your edit rhythm.
  4. Check the ending.
  5. Keep the loudness consistent across the playlist.
