Hello my dear Charlie , very nice to find you again on this lovely coming back to school you beautiful soul
I felt the need to write something because I've been hearing lately this same sentence : " it's a new school year , a new beginning , a new page "
So I guess it means that some of the oibs will give a sort of advice or reminder about school , homework , stress etc
Well , I thought about homework , how to make it more bearable , or enjoyable : jazzzzzzzz
I'm a big jazz fan ( not modern one though , I will talk about that in a minute ) There are many types , artists using different instruments , songs that have different vibes , I always listen to it and I have everything I need depending on my mood , if I feel like dancing or sleeping or casually walking down the street . I got introduced to it watching 90's movies , that very enjoyable background music , anyways I will try to dig up some of the jazz masterpieces I feel you need to listen , it can help you while you're doing your homework because it's very soothing and it has that new york evening vibe to it !
Modern jazz , I don't really like it because I think it ruins a bit that old fashion that the jazz has , also some of the lyrics don't suit the music .
Here are some of jazz giants by my fav crooners :
- take five by Dave Brubek
- the African Queen by Horace Silver
- do I love you because you're beautiful ? By John Coltrane ( an exceptional saxophonist 🎷)
- I put a spell on you by Nina Simone
- Summertime by Miles Davis
- Stormy weather by Etta James
- Georgia on my mind by Ray Charles
- one mint Julep by the clovers
- L.O.V. E by Nat King Cole
- Mack the knife by Bobby Darin
- I've got you under my skin by Frank Sinatra
- unforgettable by Nat King Cole
I can keep this list going but these are the ones that came to mind and if someone is interested in a Spotify or Deezer list I can share it just send me a message ;) I hope this will help you relax and enjoy ,
I will leave you with a perfect jazz definition :
"what we've tried to do is play the music we know best , the music a cat in Harlem would dig " Willie Bobo
Take care my dears

DeleteI don't know many people of your age listening to jazz. It's really rare ! I like the history behind the jazz. At that time, black people in United States really used this music to express what they were going through. I'm not such a huge fan of the genre but I still consider it as art.
ReplyDeleteExactly ! Jazz is being overlooked and forgotten even though it has such an interesting history and way of evoking that through musical pleasure ! Ps : I've became desperate to find jazz fans :(
Deletegonna listen to this while doing goleword, thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about jazz (at all) but I do like the few songs I heard of it sooo hope it suits my taste!
You can expand it if you want to ;) but I'm glad I introduced it to you my friend
