[2026] A Curated Spring Jazz Collection That Evokes the Arrival of Spring (61–70)
Feeling GoodNina Simone
An upbeat tune with a powerful yet light rhythm that feels delightful.
It’s a track included on the 1965 album I Put a Spell on You.
Nina Simone’s rich, profound vocals make your heart dance, as if heralding the arrival of spring.
The lyrics celebrate the beauty of nature—soaring birds, a shining sun, and a gentle breeze—evoking the coming of a new season.
It drew attention when it was used in a UK commercial in 1994 and has since become beloved by many.
Perfect for the start of a new day or when you’re beginning a new chapter in life.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to reset their spirit with the arrival of spring.
A Night in TunisiaArt Blakey & The Jazz Messengers
A masterpiece that captures the exotic atmosphere of North Africa through innovative jazz rhythms and harmonies.
In August 1960, Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers delivered a performance that opened up new musical territory with a bold fusion of Afro-Cuban rhythms and bebop.
Anchored by powerful drumming, the sensual melodic lines woven by Lee Morgan’s trumpet and Wayne Shorter’s saxophone shine throughout.
Featured on the classic album “A Night in Tunisia,” this piece captivates with its interplay of exotic ambience and thrilling improvisation.
Perfect for a calm spring evening when you want to relax into the music and feel a breeze from distant lands.
Let’s Fall In LoveDiana Krall
Canadian jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall gracefully performs this classic that lightly celebrates the joy and anticipation of falling in love.
Her delicate piano touch and sensuous vocals resonate like the warmth of spring, gently enveloping the heart.
Featured on her 1999 album “When I Look In Your Eyes,” this piece is a superb reinterpretation of the 1933 film theme song by Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler.
With a swing-infused jazz arrangement and refined musicianship, it brings out new charms in the song.
The Grammy-winning album is a perfect companion for the start of a new season—an ideal track for those who wish to spend a calm, soothing moment.
I’M OLD FASHIONEDMargareta Bengtson
Written by Johnny Mercer (lyrics) and Jerome Kern (music), it was created as an insert song for the 1942 musical film You Were Never Lovelier starring Fred Astaire.
In the film, Rita Hayworth sings it.
Astaire recorded it the same year, but that version did not become much of a hit.
Ann SpringsNat Adderley
Nat Adderley, the jazz trumpeter who is the younger brother of Cannonball Adderley—the popular jazz saxophonist who influenced many musicians.
The track “Ann Springs,” included on his debut album as a leader, That’s Nat, is said by some to have been composed by jazz pianist Mal Waldron.
It’s a swinging, melodious number that seems to sit right at the transition from the bebop era to hard bop.
Spring Can Really Hang You Up the MostJane Monheit
Jane Monheit, a jazz vocalist from New York, graduated with top honors from the Manhattan School of Music and has received high acclaim throughout her professional career.
One of her signature songs, Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most, is a spring-themed piece that she released when she was 20 years old.
Despite her young age, she exudes remarkable sensuality—be sure to check it out.
In a sentimental moodDuke Ellington & John Coltrane
A beautiful collaboration from 1962 between Duke Ellington, a towering figure in American jazz, and the innovative saxophonist John Coltrane.
With a poetic vision that likens feelings for a loved one to a starry sky, the sublime harmony woven by Ellington’s elegant piano and Coltrane’s gentle saxophone sinks deeply into the heart.
The origin story from 1935 is also fascinating: a melody improvised to ease a quarrel between friends has since become a shining classic in jazz history.
It was memorably used in the 2005 film “Prime,” and it’s a piece you’ll want to listen to quietly in a café on a calm spring afternoon.
It offers a healing moment that warms the soul.
