While Winter may officially be dead today, it sure doesn't seem like Spring in my neck of the woods. Here in Western Massachusetts we're bracing for another heavy winter storm tomorrow, the fourth in the past month. It seems like the song of the day will be "Spring Will Be a Little Late This Year". Or maybe "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most"? I think it's Michael Franks' recording of "Why It Ain't Spring" that fits my mood best.
But here is an hour of jazz with Spring themes to enjoy and make you think of fonder, softer, warmer days to come. All of the previously mentioned tunes are here, along with some with which you might not yet be familiar. Podcast 615 features:
