+1 for the Getz/Gilberto or most bossa nova really. I would recommend the soundtrack to the Let's Get Lost documentary about Chet Baker as well (it's not bossa nova) but it might be a bit too melancholy and sad to be truly chill.

More in the jazz vein this could be one of my favorite tunes of all time and always puts me in a peaceful mood.

Devin Townsend - Ghost - this whole album is blissful

The Clientele

As far as other stuff I usually turn to bandcamp for discovery and here are some labels I like. All are fairly ambient so I dunno if that might be TOO chill. Can one be too chill? I dunno.

Melody as Truth - great ambient works with just enough melody and movement to make it not too drowsy. I'd recommend anything by Suzanne Kraft or especially the Passive Aggressive album with her and Jonny Nash

Serein - again very chill almost ambient compilations and others.

Bludhoney - mostly ambient and electronic but occasionally can be a bit foreboding but always has a futuristic sci-fi vibe.

Ultimae - chill electronic with psybient/downtempo feel that to me works well with being productive around the house or at work.

Moderna Records - chill with a classical vibe. A lot of solo piano and small ensemble stuff

Yo la Tengo, Grouper, Cigarettes After Sex, jeez you're right there's so much chill music!

This rules. Thank you.

I really dig the Roseland NYC vid on YouTube for jams as well as looks that got me nostalgic.
