Experts consider the peak of the lounge music’s popularity to be in 1950’s and 1960’s. At that time, the music was played by little-known bands, meanwhile, the music sounded familiar. Back then, any musician, who played in cafes and restaurants, could have been called a lounge music player.

In 1960’s, lounge music bands appeared. They included the work of such famous musicians as James Lust, Axel Stordahl and Nat King Cole. Lounge music was used in various Hollywood movies since it created a great background.

The second coming of the lounge music happened in 1990’s. At that time retro lounge music of 1960’s was resurrected. The audience was awed by a variety of compilation albums with various lounge music artists. At that time, such new bands and performers appeared as Jaffa, Zimmer-G. Combustible Edison, and Gotan Project. They cultivated the lounge style and turned it into something special that we are listening to today.

The modern lounge music is played by such artists as Blank &Jones and De-Phazz. Their hit “Lemongrass Garden” can be appreciated by the people, who love light and airy music. Meanwhile, the band Pizzicato Five did a great job of combining techno rhythms with lounge music. You can listen to FLACQ’s “London in The Rain” to understand what the style is like today.

Lounge music might not be as popular as rock and roll, jazz or even blues. However, it lived through many decades and developed to accommodate the modern audience.
