Following
up on Robin's lament about the tropical weather that has been plaguing most of
the USA, here from the heart of the Baked Apple, I am going to try to stage a
Cool-Off to help us all chill out. As in
every area of my life, music will be the tool that effects the change in mood. Today, I share with you some of the coolest
music I know.
So get
yourself an iced drink, sit back in a comfortable chair, and give a listen
Okay,
let's start with the gorgeous, soothing piano jazz of Bill Evans. Here's his "Like Someone in Love."
Cool,
huh?
Still
cool, but also swingin' is this:
Try to
feel as cool as Frank sounds.
Okay. Now, for my money, the ultimate in cool is John
Coltrane. Listen to his "Ev’ry Time We Say Good-Bye."
Now,
aren't you feeling better?
How about
your cool favorites? Add a link in the
comments to tunes you think will help me stay cool. It’s blistering in New York. Give me a break!

My reply to you... yesterday I sat in the air-conditioned Weill Art Gallery at the 92 Y for an hour. People came and went, but I was basically alone, getting cool. I come to this room nearly every Friday and listen to some of the most talented musicians from all over the world . I could hear their music, and it cooled me down.. it was like a glimpse into a vast music hall way up yonder.. Thelma
