Jazz Up Your Party Playlist

In celebration of International Jazz Day coming up on May 29, here is a great list of jazz songs for you to add to your party playlist. Jazz music works for almost every occasion. It is formal enough for a wedding, upbeat enough for dancing, or can be enjoyed as background music at a family cookout. Here are some of my favorite picks:

• “So What” – Miles Davis
• “Take Five” – Dave Brubeck
• “St. Thomas” – Sonny Rollins
• “Desafinado” – Stan Getz
• “St. Louis Blues” – Herbie Mann
• “Route 66” – Nat King Cole
• “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” – Ella Fitzgerald
• “String of Pearls” – Glen Miller
• “Swing Swing Swing” – Benny Goodman
• “Black and Blue” – Louis Armstrong
• “Riff (Otto make That)” – Duke Ellington
• “A Night in Tunisia” – Dizzy Gillespie

Hope you enjoy them!

Enjoy planning.
