49 mixes with songs by “Harry James & His Orchestra”

May 19, 2012

revision, essays, presentations.. probably the least exciting things in your mind when it's gloomy outside.
but, hey! rain doesn't have to be too depressing! there's nothing a good cup of coffee and some nice music can't handle..

37 soft tunes to help make work easier...

a random mix of well-known tunes, instrumental and bands, no vocals, with a bit of toe-tapping thrown in.

Keeps me going when I'm writing or studying. Prepare for three mind-boggling hours of inspiration!

[comment: I added a few tracks, so my Remedy is now a four-hour mix!]

My favorite old songs, mostly from sinatra era.

Nine songs including tracks by Benny Goodman and His Orchestra, Duke Ellington and His Orchestra, and Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra.

From the elder statesman of martini smooth jazz, 22 timeless tracks including Vince Guaraldi, Bobby Darin, Sarah Vaughan.

Jazz, swing, dance, heartbreak, and ecstasy from the 1930s; brief tracks but lots of them. Artists include Louis Armstrong, Connee Boswell, and Johnny Hodges.

This is stuff your grandparents or great-grandparents listened to. For people whose taste extends far beyond Cuban cigars and Montrechet wine.

For all you sweethearts out there... Hits of the 30s and 40s including Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra and the Andrews Sisters

Ten tracks from my setlist of the 3rd social swing dance in town.
I tend to play the old skool stuff but was in a more modern mood this time.

10 tracks from Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008), Sweet and Lowdown (1999), Midnight In Paris (2011), Radio Days (1987), Anything Else (2003) and Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993).
