Wintry Chill
In winters past, I’d listen to slowcore (Tara Jane O’Neil, Cat Power, Low, Ida, Hem…) and chill-out (Ministry of Sound, Bent, Bonobo, Air, Tosca, Peace Orchestra, Zero 7…) musics to keep warm. Today, listening to those artists brings back memories of those times: books read, food & drink consumed, old haunts frequented. These days, I’m all about the Anti-Folk/Singer-Songwriter (Iron & Wine, Sufjan Stevens, Laura Veirs, Nina Nastasia, Elliot Smith, Calexico, Jolie Holland…) and especially the Jazz (Miles Davis, Lionel Hampton, Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, Django Reinhardt, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, Josephine Baker…). What memories will embed themselves in these timeless tunes?
