Reddit mentions of In The Wee Small Hours

I think I might be able to help you out here. The track "Red Velvet" is a slow, pretty jazzy track, and so I think I'd begin by recommending Beegie Adair, whose albums are all jazzy easy listening tunes. I'm afraid I can't point you to any specific album though; I only have one of them, Parisian Cafe, and that doesn't seem to fit the mood and theme that "Velvet" has. In the same vein, I think you could definitely find something you like by looking at the easy listening genre in general. The L.A. Noire soundtrack might have a few things for you, like the tracks Minor 9th, Redemption Pt. 3, and Noire Clarinet. Also look into a Frank Sinatra album, In the Wee Small Hours, which has lots of tracks with a similar pacing, but with a gloomier mood than "Velvet."

For specific songs with vaguely similar and mood, the three I can think of are all songs from the brony fandom, which you may or may not like, I dunno. They are Luna (Nightlife Jazz Mode), Winter Jazz Up, and Becoming Jazzular. "Jazzular" and "Jazz Up" are quite a bit faster tempo than "Velvet," but I feel they're similar enough anyways to be worth mentioning (and yes, I dislike the puns just as much as you do).


For songs that are similarly relaxed in mood, but with a faster pace, I think you might want to look at songs like "No Hay Problema" from Pink Martini's album Sympathique. Also think about Milt Buckner's "The Beast", which is quite a bit different from "Velvet," but might be something you like.

For songs that are...um, kinda similar, consider songs like Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love". I think "Dance" has got a more dreamy, floating feel to it than "Velvet" has, but you might like it, who knows.

If none of the tracks I mentioned really interested you, feel free to mention another song you like, so I can give you different recommendations. You should do this especially if you liked tracks from Katawa Shoujo's OST like "Wiona." I fancy myself quite the fan in quietly emotional piano solos from soundtracks, and I can talk your ear off with recommendations. Finally, be warned that while I directed to Amazon's album listings, you can frequently find better prices at a site called eMusic (though their selection is quite a bit more limited).
