In most of the Northern Hemisphere, this is officially the first day of fall. In a weblog devoted primarily to jazz, it seems fitting to welcome the advent of the new season with music. The pleasant problem is that there are so many wonderful recordings of songs with autumn themes, it’s impossible to choose just one. So, here are three.
Nat Cole, 1948
Woody Herman, 1948
Johnny Hartman and John Coltrane, 1963
Have a pleasant autumn season or—if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere— a happy spring.
