Continuum – A Journey Through Jazz
Episode 27: Cool Autumn Nights, Part 2
We’re experiencing some of the coolest Autumn nights in recent years here in NE Georgia, and thus I thought I would try again to create the perfect mix of Jazz to capture and augment the mood.
Some of you answered the invitation in last weeks episode to come hang out at my house in front of the fireplace for some food and music, but a few never left . . . and thus apparently listened to last week’s podcast over and over again – so, I thought it might be a good idea to provide some additional music and food, and keep the party going.
So – we start with the cool sounds of Wes Montgomery from 1965, and maintain a peaceful groove with some beautiful piano jazz from the likes of Larry Barker, Ramona Borthwick & Beegie Adair. We then kick back with some bluesy ballads & gentle jams from Troy Andrews & Irvin Mayfield, Carl Allen & Rodney Whitaker, and Terence Blanchard – and turn the mood back over to pianists Peter Martin & Kevin Bales to finish off this Autumn feast with the perfect blend of cool . . . and for desert, there’s a little Blue Monk.
Relax, kick back, have a drink, enjoy the conversation, and allow me to cook up something cool which will hopefully nourish your mind, body and soul . . . and provide a lovely soundtrack for your fall activities. Listen all night, or all day – or both. Enjoy the ride!
