One of my favorite Adam Neely's song reworking.
In some way, surrounding oneself with the subtle complexity of lofi hip-hop is similarly relaxing as listening to Adam Neely explaining intricate details of music theory which us semi-laypersons hardly understand.
Never too late to appreciate Jazz, I guess.

Emily Remler - How To Reinvent a Standard
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6S9CViqUfc&index=34&list=PLWYuNvZPqqcHrelUZ4pBPVDwa5Q_wQuZI&t=0s
Emily Remler is a great example of how you can mix modern and more traditional ideas. This video is analyzing both the reharmonization or arrangement of Softly as in a Morning Sunrise and some of the phrases she plays over it in her solo.
In the video I discuss how she uses modern and modal harmony in the reharmonization but also how some of her phrases are clearly coming out of a tradition based on players like Wes Montgomery and Joe Pass.
Emily Remlers solo on this tune is incredible melodic and groovy and in many ways a really great example of mainstream or traditional approaches meeting more modern postbop concepts.

I also talk a bit about what will fit with the melody of a piece.
