Winter jazz, Summer blues

Posted on 10.06.04 5:06PM in music

After enduring the torment of the recent hurricane season, I have decided to release an official statement welcoming winter (seeing as how there is no autumn to speak of in this subtropical climate, I’ve decided to leave that salutation to the nerds up north who collect leaves or whatever it is they do). But the question arises: when, if ever, will Mother Nature bestow upon us the refreshing cool air?

You know it’s here when you wake up in the morning and, upon stepping on the tile floor in the bathroom, the frigid ceramic appeases your fiery soul, fueled by months of heat and/or humidity. The night before, you’re none the wiser, but in that fleeting moment – that blip of existence that otherwise would be meaningless – you are rejuvenated for another whole year; rejuvenated enough to start complaining about the cold and impatiently waiting for summer to arrive.

In the past, the cooler October airs have come in just in time to welcome the Clearwater Jazz Holiday, but I’ve never been. So, I made the decision today to bring in the cold months at Coachman Park from 14 – 17 October while hearing some stellar music. You may join if you’d like.
