Tracks of the Week: Autumn
Devendra Banhart "Autumn's Child (Live)" - Last week was The Fall; this week we're sticking with autumn. This is a nice live rendition from KCRW radio in Santa Monica on May 5, 2004. I think there's a little hiccup in the middle of the track and I apologize for that. He's making the rounds again for his new album Cripple Crow. I've heard bits and pieces and it's quite nice. Radio set, not available to buy.
Cannonball Adderley "Autumn Leaves" - This song reminds me of sitting on the back porch of my first apartment in Somerville watching the flight path at twilight. You have a superstar line-up here: Addereley, Miles, Hank Jones, Sam Jones, and Blakey. This is one of my all-time favorite jazz tracks. Perfect and peaceful for a cool evening. Buy It.
