In fond memory of the founder of the MaD Jazzers who departed this life in June, the group has been renamed ‘The Bryan Ruskin MaD Jazzers’. Bryan would have been so very proud to know that the group he loved so much now bears his name.
The very appropriate theme for October was ‘Autumn‘. Unsurprisingly, we had several versions of Autumn Leaves as well as other lovely autumn-themed tracks, all of which are listed below. Click on each one to go to YouTube to listen to them …
Autumn Leaves by The Bill Evans Trio
Les Feuilles Mortes by Tatiana Eva-Marie & Vinny Raniolo
Autumn Breeze by MJQ
Autumn in New York by Diana Krill
August Ending by Brad Mehldau
‘Tis Autumn by Nat King Cole & his Trio
Harvest Moon by Cassandra Wilson
Autumn in New York by John Coltrane & Stan Getz
Smooth October Jazz (we played the first track)
Autumn Leaves by Frank Sinatra
September Song by Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown
Autumn Leaves by Errol Garner (from the Concert by the Sea)
Autumn Leaves by Chet Baker & Paul Desmond
Our next theme will be ‘Ska Jazz‘
Our ‘MaD Jazzer’ Andrew Harper has put together a Spotify playlist of the tracks we’ve listened to in our jazz group meetings. You can click on the link to go to Spotify and enjoy a hugely varied selection of great jazz … MaD Jazzers Playlist
The MaD Jazzers meet via Zoom on the first Thursday of each month at 7:00pm. This format works well as we can share our music choices online. We also occasionally visit Peggy’s Skylight, an award-winning jazz club in Nottingham.
