It perfectly captures the fleeting feelings that October brings\u2014the slight melancholy of saying goodbye to warmer days, the bittersweet acceptance of incoming winter, the in-between season of pumpkins, new chances, and falling leaves. \u201cOctober\u201d encompasses the burgeoning autumn optimism that anything is possible. The song is brimming with emotion from the first fluttering keys to the deeper notes that flourish into an unspoken story\u2014one that\u2019s written beautifully and free to fly.&nbsp;<strong>&#8212;<\/strong> <strong>Heather Thorn<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: October\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/2H5IEbMZnikxlbHki7m3Su?si=tcGkbkZXSkO8SHHtmNid2A&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8220;Malibu\u201d By Masayoshi Takanaka<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bringing some light to the cloudy weather, Masayoshi Takanaka once again proves he can make anyone happy with his music. While his music is most known for its summery vibe, this song crosses the barrier of seasons, I could be anywhere at anytimie listening to this song and will feel at ease. Masayoshi Takanaka is one of those musicians who talks with his instruments, every song has so much emotion in it and this one really stands out for that, it makes you feel like you just built a big lego set, and now you just get to admire. <strong>&#8212; Griff Giacchino<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: MALIBU\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/2LAMzLZLIK9zCgABZv5Ano?si=6b80b04df85649ab&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cMeeting of the Spirits\u201d by Mahavishnu Orchestra<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel like I\u2019ve picked this band multiple times now across multiple different prompts, but can you blame me? There are few bands in history who went as unrepentantly hard in the sauce as Mahavishnu Orchestra, and even then, \u201cMeeting of the Spirits\u201d may be the most sauced-up track across the entirety of their discography. Every single musician playing here is a top-of-the-line, all-time player (hard to argue otherwise when you have THE Billy Cobham on the drums), but it\u2019s the diabolical John McLaughlin guitar solo at the center of the song that\u2019s the real draw. Listen to that tone; scuzzy, raw, but clear as day and sharp as a knife, as if McLaughlin\u2019s strings are bursting into flames in real time from the sheer force of his attack. It\u2019s got all the finesse of jazz, without losing any of the virtuoso shredding showmanship of prog. McLaughlin\u2019s guitar is the lifeblood of \u201cMeeting of the Spirits,\u201d an unstoppable propulsive energy that every musician on the track is meticulously balancing themselves around as the music moves higher and higher, losing steam only for a moment before the guitar and drums steamroll their way back into the fray and rocket off into another bout of mindblowing, eye-wateringly beautiful musical wizardry. If you\u2019re a musician, \u201cMeeting of the Spirits\u201d will dumbfound you. And if you\u2019re not, it still will. That\u2019s just how much power Mahavishnu Orchestra has.<strong> &#8212;<\/strong> <strong>Lucca Swain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Meeting of the Spirits (with John McLaughlin)\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/41ZgVC4H14ajbV2adh3D7s?si=dd0229d74f654e6b&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cStar Song\u201d by Vince Guaraldi and Bola Sete<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spotify algorithm is rarely spoken about with good words, but every once in a while it\u2019ll bring you something in a sparkling little package, like a gift from a fairy. \u201cStar Song\u201d came to me on the Vince Guaraldi radio and felt exactly like a present. Maybe jazz just isn\u2019t my area of expertise, but this was my first encounter with Bola Sete, a Brazilian guitarist and composer, and I was very happy to make this discovery. \u201cStar Song\u201d comes from the album <em>Vince &amp; Bola, <\/em>which has become a good friend to me on my walks. With the weather getting colder and Halloween approaching, jazz music has reentered into my daily music rotation \u2013 I would recommend this for you, too. \u201cStar Song\u201d is a fun, mellow backing track for any and all fall adventures. My suggestion is a warm drink in one hand, a friend&#8217;s company in the other, shared headphones, and a walk down a street covered in orange leaves (if you can find one). Songs like these are best when shared. <strong>&#8212;<\/strong> <strong>Ana Achata<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Star Song\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/0fx8lwHMrQA0v6JhmJTED8?si=aafa7759bbd349c2&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cCircular Flexing\u201d by Squarepusher<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of those songs that I still remember stumbling across for the first time. It was about a year ago when I was in an electronic dance phase and needed something to switch up the energy, so I decided to check out Squarepusher\u2019s album <em>Music Is Rotted One Note<\/em>, an artist that I had kept hearing about but had no idea what their sound was like and figured I should give them a try. As someone who didn\u2019t listen to jazz very often, I remember being totally blown away by just how unique and atmospheric Squarepusher\u2019s particular flavor of jazz was, coming off as this sort of Lynchian, dreamy nightclub soundscape. The standout of that album is absolutely \u201cCircular Flexing,\u201d with the modulated garbled vocals over a melody that sounds like a heavily reverbed wind chime recorded on a VHS tape being right up my alley when it comes to experimental sounds. The song\u2019s momentum is really something to behold as well, with the understated yet highly energetic hi-hats sounding like tribal drums that gives the song a very spiritual energy. Distorted piano keys accelerate towards the ending of the track, giving the song a climactic structure that elevates it beyond just having an ethereal sound. The song is both compositionally excellent as well as slightly discordant and nearly offbeat. Listening to this feels like hearing a ghostly orchestra play in a haunted house, from one room over while you\u2019re half asleep. If I could only pick one song to describe as completely otherworldly and trance-inducing, this would have to be it. <strong>&#8212; Diego Gonzalez<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Circular Flexing\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/6INyGgc4jXfmG8MVnEx5Hv?si=1de1b61169df4ff8&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8220;I Shall Be Released&#8221; &#8211; Nina Simone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jazz is as much of a feeling as it is a genre.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My last memory of this song is driving to work and only realizing I was crying at a stop light, when a woman rolled her window down to ask if I was okay.

It gives you a sharp warm feeling in your throat, swallowed down to your chest on que with a kickdrum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, everything will be okay as long as you have love.

Geordie Greep\u2019s \u201cTerra\u201d is alive, it jitters with momentous anticipation, rising to a payoff of horns and belts. It momentarily falls and simmers down into an array of playfully quiet bongos and maracas just to reach another boiling point of evocative yelps and moans from Greep himself. He plays a character that necessitates emotional validation yet inspires breaking out in sways and twirls. Simply, it\u2019s a rollercoaster ride that, in its lyricism, flaunts the pain and suffering it was born out of, one that calls for desperate affection and attention of the most severe degree. With its uncomfortable voyeuristic desire to be pitied, the track is accompanied by upbeat trumpeting that trickles into the vocal quality of Greep who warbles in satisfaction. By the track\u2019s close, we get the impression of a death of sorts, one that commemorates the life of a narrator we knew only in brief begs and prolonged brags. Greep\u2019s storytelling and playful lyricism approaches its peak here as he creates an atmosphere of its own, one that\u2019s packed with witty referential jazz that makes it remain one of my favorite tracks of the past few years.&nbsp;<strong>&#8212; Sophie Parrish<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Terra\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/70zqspCXLvLHsBh1Pl7Izc?si=151de6d9505b4f58&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;October&#8221; by Okonski I won\u2019t lie: I\u2019ve never been a fan of jazz.
