Spring WaltzSinne Eeg, Thomas Fonnesbæk
“Spring Waltz,” sung by Sinne Eeg, one of Denmark’s leading jazz vocalists, is a love song that evokes the feeling of a pleasant spring day.
It’s the opening track of her 2021 album “Staying In Touch,” which features a duo with bassist Thomas Fonnesbæk.
Even though it’s an unusual pairing of just vocals and bass with very few notes played, the piece conveys remarkably rich harmony and expressive depth.
Some Other SpringBillie Holiday
Billie Holiday, the jazz singer affectionately known as Lady Day.
Perhaps because she grew up in a harsh environment as a child, she carried that background with her into her later years and led a troubled life, yet her music and vocals are still highly acclaimed today.
One of her spring-themed songs is “Some Other Spring.” When you think of spring songs, you might imagine something bright, but this one is a mature take: she resolves to completely forget the man she parted with and finally fall in love this year.
Violets for Your FursMatt Dennis
This is a song composed by Matt Dennis with lyrics by Tom Adair, written for the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.
Its Japanese title is “Kōto ni Sumire o” (“Violets for Your Furs”).
It is said that the song was inspired when the lyricist Tom saw Billie Holiday wearing a fur coat at one of her live performances.
Looking UpMICHEL PETRUCCIANI
Michel Petrucciani, a jazz pianist from France.
Anyone well-versed in jazz piano will know him—he’s such an exceptional player that he’s often hailed as “the greatest jazz pianist in French history.” His musical style, influenced by artists like Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett, is truly captivating.
His piece Looking Up is one of his signature works, a modern jazz number with an upbeat, spring-themed vibe.
Cool Struttin’Sonny Clark
Cool Struttin’ by Sonny Clark, released in 1958.
A beloved classic and a staple of modern jazz.
Sonny Clark is on piano, Art Farmer on trumpet, Jackie McLean on alto saxophone, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums.
Sakura StampYano Saori
Released on March 23, 2005, Saori Yano’s album “Sakura Stamp” is a captivating work that heralds the arrival of spring.
This album shines with collaborations from accomplished musicians such as trumpeter Nicholas Payton and tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander.
The title track, “Sakura Stamp,” features a gentle, warm tone that evokes the soft breezes of spring.
It’s a recommended pick not only for jazz fans but also as the perfect companion for a spring drive or picnic.
Yano’s fresh, vibrant performance seems to symbolize springtime in Japan, making your heart dance with joy.
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.
