…..From “Summer Wind” to “Autumn Leaves,” our world transitions, thankfully, once again. September 21 means it is officially Autumn. The days are getting shorter, the morning walks a bit more brisk, and the camera is coming out more frequently to capture the brilliance of the colors and the light.
…..A meaningful transition into this time of year can be the experience of listening to the many jazz compositions and recordings inspired by the romance of the season – the turning of the leaves, their falling, and the ultimate passage into Winter. Metaphors galore for musicians, artists, and writers.
…..This 28-song Spotify playlist, curated by Jerry Jazz Musician contributing writer Bob Hecht, features great tunes performed by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Sarah Vaughan, Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, Bill Evans, Lester Young, Stan Getz, and…well, you get the idea.
…..It is a serenade…to Autumn.
