I'm looking for a phrase I don't know ...

Have you ever been to a hotel lobby and heard a pianist playing on the grand piano? Or have you been to a restaurant where there is a pianist playing in the background? The music is relaxing and also sounds a little more on the complex side (but I haven't heard a live pianist in years so maybe it isn't as difficult as I think...).

What is that music called? Evening piano music? Hotel music? (I don't think so.) Cocktail piano? I stumbled across the phrase "cocktail piano" by accident today but I don't know if that's what I'm looking for.

Once I saw a book in a music shop which contained the type of music you might hear in a hotel, or a restaurant, the kind of music I really used to love. I didn't buy it and now I wish I did but I don't know what to search for. Could anyone tell me the right name for it?

"Lounge music" maybe?

Hmm I know that a "cocktail pianist" is someone that you can book for special events like weddings, anniversaries, parties, etc. Not entirely sure but I'm pretty certain "cocktail piano" is correct.

That's what I thought as well. O_o
