Coffee drinking has become such a fad in the country there is now a proliferation of cafes and coffeehouses dotting the metropolis.

While cafes abroad are full entertainment cum dining centers equipped with performance space for acoustic numbers, and serving a menu consisting of all sorts of brews as well as pastries, gourmet food and other delectable recipes incorporating chocolate/caffeine/coffee-based ingredients, even in ice cream, our own versions of these cafes have to make do with piped in music consisting of chill-out/lounge/jazz.

Sony Music has come out with its own series to accompany coffee-drinkers. Aptly called jazz espresso, jazz latte, jazz cappuc­cino, the Jazz Café Series is a delightful compilation of vocal numbers interspersed with instru­mental pieces highlighting the best of jazz to make your leisurely sip all the more enjoyable.
