I enjoy listening to jazz music, whether for keeping me company while cooking or reading, or to help me focus while studying and writing essays. Claire and I even used to listen to jazz on bus rides to and from Manhattan from our former college, finding that it was relaxing while staring out the window and preparing ourselves for another week of lectures and readings. The varying tempos and emotions conveyed by jazz musicians translates to an endless selection of artists or songs to listen to, no matter the mood or task at hand. When I want something soothing, I listen to Antonio Carlo Jobim; when I want something more upbeat, I like Dizzy Gillespie and Sydney Bechet.
As I’m currently in the midst of midterms, I thought I would share one of my favorite Spotify jazz playlists, which you can listen to for free by simply clicking on the playlist below. (Let us know if you like it, we can put together more playlists in the future!)
