This is a 1962 collaboration between John Coltrane and Duke Ellington called "In A Sentimental Mood." It mixes Ellington's piano and Coltrane's saxophone perfectly, considering the name of the song. There are no words, but it does not need words, as this song will make you think simply by listening to its peaceful sound. It reminds me of being in New York, sitting in a quiet bar, watching the snow fall outside and people walking by when I was there over New Year's. All I could think was, "life is pretty dang good." Thanks John and Duke, you are geniuses.
