[2026] A Curated Spring Jazz Collection That Evokes the Arrival of Spring (71–80)
April In PortugalLouis Armstrong
Louis Armstrong, the legendary vocalist affectionately known as Satchmo.
Many people remember his image of singing with his mouth opened wide, like a coin purse.
He was highly acclaimed as a vocalist, boasting top-tier expressive power even among the greatest singers in history.
His renowned piece “April in Portugal” was originally composed in 1947 as a Portuguese fado folk song.
The theme is spring, and its Latin-flavored melody leaves a strong impression.
Honeysuckle RoseAnita O’Day
Lyrics by Andy Razaf and music by Fats Waller.
It was created as a dance number for the 1928 revue “Load of Coal.” The “Honeysuckle” in the title refers to the flower honeysuckle, which blooms from May to July and was used as a sweetener in place of sugar.
Willow Weep For MeDexter Gordon
This is a piece composed by Ann Ronell and dedicated to Gershwin.
Its Japanese title is “Yanagi yo, Naite Okure,” which means “Willow, Please Weep.” In English, a drooping willow is called a “weeping willow,” and across times and cultures, willows seem to carry a somewhat sorrowful, shadowy image.
