At least, that’s how it seems around here right now though there’s a smattering of Florence and the Machine added in. Since I’m forever making playlists, I thought I’d share this one for trad jazz fans.
This one is super mellow. Like, I’m thinking of adding it to my 420 celebration rotation this year. So, think rainy Sunday afternoon with the windows open sort of mood. It’s more fine scotch material than margaritas and rum punch. Not sleepy, but it sure isn’t bounce (All hail the Queen of Bounce, Big Freedia! But yeah, she isn’t on this playlist).
