This mix celebrates my favourite season. Autumn the time of mist and mellow fruitfulness. Summer is done and soon the leaves will flutter to the gutter.
The music kicks off with a track from Woody Shaw - featuring some ferocious horn playing. Then, a track from San Francisco’s “Dogslyde” which segues into the classic “Airegin” from Bill McBirnie. From there on in things mellow right down as Autumn takes over the mix. Enjoy the music brothers and sisters of dusk and umber.

A marvelous depiction of the seasons my friend : Before reading the description: I was listening while washing up the dishes from last night dinner : and could not help thinking about the balance between fiction and non -fiction : There's clearly nothing factitious surrounding this : real life crosses the diameter "All" by Rufus Harley was magical : and thanks for the inclusion of My B0y Roy Hargrove ... Nice : ) Love ya habits Foot Solider
Nice to have you back on board the good ship JAZZ. As always, appreciate your thoughtful analysis.
A bit of real culture never hurt anyone. Best, DrJ
Ah, with the readers you've got me. Hints will be no help here, I've been away from the boards for far too long. Only so many hours in the day...
The Clare was read by Richard Burton and the Dickens by Peter O’Shaughnessy. This is turning into bit of what we English call a luvvie fest!
Great choice to start with John Clare’s words. Fine segue Shaw to Dogslyde. And Dickens to Jim Hall..how cool is that? Oooh, Cassandra’s “Nocturne”, the perfect choice for this one (the smoke of burning leaves in her voice). One of the marks of a great mix is that it makes each individual cut sound better (and that’s the art of album cut sequencing too); we’ve got that here. A-1
Dr Jazz, You are a gentleman and a scholar. I am impressed you identified John Clare and Charles Dickens. But can you identify the readers? Clue: the Clare is read by a certain Welsh actor and the Dickens by an Australian/English/Irish actor. Anyways, it’s really nice to get such positive feedback. I bow in your general direction...
Good stuff, thx!
Merci beaucoup.
Lovely, thanks very much.
You’re welcome - thanks for stopping by.
Good selection 2Tee, but check your volumes! Like goin' from Dogslyde to Airegin...I had to turn the knob down. I think it's just a little to early for Autumn, but had a good feeling listening to your mix.

Yeah! it’s a bit annoying sometimes the variations in volume between tracks. I try to normalise everything, but sometimes even that doesn’t work too well. Anyway, thanks for listening, always appreciate your support.
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves are sad and cold - I definitely got that feel from this set - Wow is Autumn here already? Music to make you reflect with - nice, charming ambient - I can see the shimmering of rustic hues of red, brown and gold - perfect on a Friday evening... in Autumn :(
Thanks for listening fellow northerner - One of these days I might just get on my motorbike - ride up the A1 and crash the Lemon Circus studios for a verbal wrestling
match. I reckon I’d probably lose - although it would be an interesting contest. I’m working on my adjectives as we speak.
