this is my ultimate driving in the rain music, especially in the city.

Miles Davis - Blue in Green

the brushes on the snare drum almost sound like cars passing by on a wet street, the piano and bass are the rain drops, and the horn soloists are my mind wandering as I stare our the window.

Crazily enough, a band named Blue in Green does a song called "Rainy Streets" that's very good too.

thanks for the link!

This guy I found online a while back, Matthew Fowler, has an album which starts and ends with rain. http://matthewfowler.bandcamp.com/track/leaving-home-open-ro...

Miles Davis is always the correct answer. I'd struggle to find a song of his that wouldn't be appropriate for just about any situation.

i'm into cool jazz in general. Gerry Mulligan is fantastic as well, Chet Baker, Red Mitchell.
