This is so weird, I have the opposite association for similar reasons: my uncle, with whom i spent some of my most pleasant and stepfather-free moments, used to like him a lot and for me it always felts serene/comforting more than sad/melancholy/painful.
(it was mostly the "Chet Baker Sings" and the bossa one with Getz, but now even the last live in Rome feels cosy)
