The concept of
Concord Jazz
's
Jazz Moods
samplers may be anathema to purists, but they can actually make jazz more accessible to newcomers by underlining certain feelings behind the music.
Jazz Moods: Dinner by Candlelight
features a selection of warm, romantic, accessible numbers performed by various
recording artists. The songs are mostly standards, including
"My Funny Valentine,"
"Body and Soul,"
and
"Moonlight in Vermont,"
plus selections penned by
Hoagy Carmichael
,
Antonio Carlos Jobim
Johnny Mercer
, and more. It's the perfect mood-setter for a private evening with that special someone. ~ Steve Huey
