Hi all! Here we are, a few hours away from the turn of a new month. I'm back, touting my hometown today, and jazz music, in honor of the last day of Jazz Appreciation Month.
I was going to talk about how jazz has changed through the years, how it's been modernized, but unfortunately that would turn into a disertation. So we're going to tie this back to romance.
Top Ten Romantic Jazz Songs
(How many of these do you recognize?)
10. Michael Buble -- "You and I"
9. Harry Connick Jr -- "We are in Love" (This man makes me swoon, I swear!)
8. Tony Bennet -- "Blue Velvet"
7. Sarah Vaughan - "Body and Soul"
6. Nora Jones -- "Come Away With Me"
5. Nat King Cole -- "Unforgettable"
4. Billie Holiday -- "Crazy He Calls Me"
3. Frank Sinatra -- "As Time Goes By"
2. Louis Armstrong -- "Dream A Little Dream of Me"
And the number one romantic Jazz Song...
Ella Fitzgerald -- "All the Things You Are"
Memories, ladies... I tell you. Makes my heart flutter at the romaticism of the era, the style, everything about it.
Before I go, I want to share with you my personal favorite, even if it didn't make the list.
Enjoy, and happy Mayday, everyone!

There are definitely some beautiful old favorites on that list. It makes me want to write a vintage romance just so I can use the music. LOL
