I wish there was some place that has nothing but the sweet sounds of great jazz , and that smokey haze with just the slight of candle lights, old fashioned microphone on stage with the touch of amazing class and a talented beauty singing ... where's a place like that in Jersey,??
My grandfather just turned 101 on 10-15-20 and this is the music he requested for his birthday its soothing beautiful music and it was such joy seeing him dance with my grandma who's 99 and yet they have so much life in them and do things on their own still
If you ever get married have it be a 1920s- 30s themed party Or if you already are, then your bday, or your wife's bday, or anniversary. I'm just saying, why not enjoy it now somehow
Thank You for your Consideration,it seems after 1985 Americans were DUMBED DOWN and we have NEVER recovered from it. I was in a public library and what TRASH was there in the front door to incite impressionable youngest was heart breaking.
Having this play in a separate room with the door wide open while i look outside of my window with my sheer curtains flowing through the wind, looking at the Cresent moon on the 3rd story of an apartment. That is my dream, 🌙✨️🌃
As someone who's in love with big band swing and artists like Boogie Belgique and Ours Samplus, I agree 100% considering people can sample these songs and give them new life. I just wish they gave credit to the original artists like I do...
I’m drinking my morning coffee, smoking a cigarette, reading a paper and listening to these tunes. Having the time of my life enjoying this sunny winter day. I tell you what, folks, life could be a dream sometimes!
My late father, a decorated WWII Vet, used to listen to Big Band music nearly every night after work. In time, I began to get why he so loved this music, and, in time, I treasured The Greatest Generation's music almost as much as they did. RIP, Pop. I'll see you all when I get there. ❤
I lost my grandma a few months ago,she was very dear to me and she used to tell me stories about that era, well not in New York, but in Athens. Anyway, listening to this kind of music makes me feel like shes with me once again, telling me stories about how beautifull the world was back then. My point is , music that really speaks to you, it feeds your soul and makes your imagination far more powerfull than anything technology can provide these days. Keep using your imagination or you will lose it folks!
Incredible, what year did you visit and how was the scenery like to you? the smell of the air, the clothing, the vehicles. I’m a young man from new york myself i would absolutely love to hear about it sir 🙃
I had my two sets of grandparents. One set lived on the West Coast. They would travel to Vegas in the 1960s to see all the hot acts, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis. My other grandparents lived on the East Coast. They traveled to New York in the 1940s to hear all the big bands play. Dorsey, Ellington, Goodman. How cool is that!
My great-grandmother is 103 years old this year. One day, when things are safe to travel to again, I hope that I can ask her to tell me about the old days.
I'm 17 and love this it's so peaceful. I put this on in my room while I study or write essays and it's so nice. A time when people could dance forever with someone they truly love.
Age ain't got nothing to do with it, my sister. It's in the soul. I'm 40 and love this stuff just as much. It's simply within us to love a certain innocence; it's why it resonates so much. Don't ever lose that.
I can imagine myself walking down the streets of New York at night, listening to this music being played in the record shops while looking at all the dazzling street signs with the cool wind of the night air gently blowing...
i LOVE it just turned 87 years old and I remember this music in childhood days of the forties as I sit and listen during a rain storm the music has style it is wonderful !
omg i would love to host a beautiful 50's style dinner with friends. But for one, i have one friend, and for two, she doesn't apprecieate this kind of music. BUt omg could you imagine walking in with a cute white flowy dress, your hair curled, heels on and a record player playing this type of music. A tvd type beat situation yk.
Absolutely, and you would be surprised as to how often younger guests ask us who or what it is on these occasions. My wife and I now live in a country village In SW France in a house built in 1740? Despite all the mod-cons, to sit in a deep lounge chair in front of a small log fire surrounded by my books after a dinner party listening to this sort of music is still magic.
@@normanclark933 sitting by a fire with books lite internet to this sounds lovely! What part of France do you live in? I would love to visit there soon :)
@@itszbebabaybee Before anyone has a bash at me for late arrivals to a subject (true), I will apologise for a late reply! Makes a change? I do indeed live in a lovely part of France - and as you probably know there are many. My location is South Central France in the Departement of the Correze, now part of Nouvelle Aquitaine. It is a region adjacent to the Dordogne and Lot collectively making up The Valley of the Dordogne. Lakes, hills, forest ad mediaeval villages abound. My house is in a non-touristic village but within 30 minutes drive are no less than six of The Most Beautiful Villages in France, and my house is on a ridge where I look over one of them (Curemont) from 6kms distance, but an overall view of almost 60kms. Correct also about books as my house is was built around 1740, and I have a separate two-story 'cottage' which houses the bigger part of my 3,000 plus books, and 2000 DVDs and I am steadily selling off my LPs - just a few with a measly total of 1000. In my career I lived and worked in 12 different countries (for longer than a year). I took French Nationality some six years ago, but have had a home here in France since 1992. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else!
I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this song ❤ Edit: Thank you soo much for 10k likes, seriously you guys made my day, I wasn't expecting that much of likes... have a great day. ❤
UNFORTUNATELY nightclubs nowadays have to have flashing lights, & loud music you have to scream over. Much better with dim lights, & sultry jazz where you could RELAX. Bring it back on Jazz Brunch Sundays or Jazz music Sunday afternoons.
I cant beleive what weve lost in music compared to today I miss jazz band and playing trombone its sad to graduate and move on and I cany imagine what older folk feel seeing the world change so drastically
Wow this was unexpected and pleasant. RUclips algorithm took me here, and I'm very grateful for it. Perfect for drinking alone and contemplating life, politics and the end of the world.
@@Gerardo032002 don't forget a few cats or dogs curled on the carpet by the fire with everything else mentioned earlier and you have the perfect day....rain,jazz.tea/coffee/furry friends ❤💙💛💚💜🖤
Listening to oldies late at night trying to finish a project. Been listening for hours, but as soon as the first song came on, my eyes filled with tears, and I felt intense tingling in my entire body. I grew up in Provence, the child of a jazz musician father and a writer and travelling saleswoman mother who loved music. I know this song like the back of my hand, like the heart of my mind. They used to run completely illegal jazz club nights in the summer months - the Krazy Kats. People would drink and talk and eat, and spill out into the garden. I was always the only child and I watched from afar as the jazz trio or quartet played all through the night. My mum and I drove everywhere, we listened to this one Benny Goodman CD a lot because you could hear it ok over the rumble of her van. She died a couple of summers ago, very sadly and painfully. The people around her forced her to manage everything until the very end, and insisted on denying her condition, so that I was had not idea what was actually happening. I quit my job to go and spend time with her but she died 8 days after I arrived. I never got the chance to talk to her, she was too far gone. She was kept in denial and I never got to say goodbye, either. I tried my best to reach her throughout my life, to love her as she wished, but somehow it never worked out - she wanted to open up to everyone but she was spikes and fortresses with me. I wrote her a long email telling her how much I loved her - she acknowledged it but never answered it in kind. I hope it reached her somehow though... That she knew someone loved her. Before she died. Still. It hurts to never have got an answer, and that I never got to say goodbye. I'm pretty sure Nightfall was a favourite of hers, but I'm not sure how. She told me about a few favourite songs but never that one. It's the feeling of my childhood. Impossibly heavy, and crying out to be preserved at all costs, infinitely precious yet already vanishing. The only way forward is to let it all go. You can't process someone else's sadness for them... Maybe I can tie happier memories to this music in time. I can try. Best of luck to us all...
The eloquence with which you wrote this tells me that you have processed thoughts and emotions that many never even acknowledge. Your healing is likely much farther along than you may believe. I know that, to you, I am no one and nothing, but your story spoke to me and I appreciate you for that. Thank you and my best wishes.
As you write, The only way forward is to let it all go. You are a caring person. We don't know why the fortress was built, it may have been built many years before you came on the scene. But this pain reminds me of the Fox in The Little Prince. God bless you, you are struggling towards the Real.
My grandmother is 100yrs old, my mom's 80, I'm 50, my daughter is 30 and my granddaughter is 11. I remember my grandmother playing this at breakfast. I fell in love with the era, and I passed this love and appreciation of the turn of the century music to my daughter and granddaughter. This is lovely! ❤🌹
I'm 17 and happened across this video and felt like listening to something new and can't lie your grandfather's era was most definitely something else my guy
I'm in my 60's, but I first learned to love this older music back when I was 6 years old and I got my first little plastic record player and my dad gave me his stack of old 78s to play. They were so much fun! I put on Frank Sinatra and Bix Beiderbeck (look him up - he is the coolest!) and Harry James, and all these great musicians, and everyone else was listening to what they called "bubble gum" music. And now, I am still listening to this same great music, because it is just great musicianship. Keep listening, because great music never dies.
haha I came here after reading a book with a character who died in the 1930s and he enjoyed this type of music so here I am listening to it now reading a book and I must say it’s rather calming and pleasant!
I’m hosting an open house at a home built in the 1920s and am using this as my ambient background music. Just loving daydreaming of what life was like back then in Burns Court Sarasota, FL So happy I found this ❤
I have so many of these in my collection of 78s. I like to bring them out on a snowy night, light a fire (in the fireplace) enjoy a good cigar and a little brandy and wind up the old victrola.
@@brandishaw778 Yes, or pajamas in public. Homeless people dressed better in the 1930s than millionaires today. Sad times for sure. Glad I'm not alone in my thoughts on such things.
I think part of the reason this music and this era is so appealing is that there was no time pressure, you were alive and could just dance the night away. You had won, you had made it, just by the virtue of still breathing in that moment. That is a feeling I have been searching for ever since childhood, and I'll probably meet my grave before I do, but I can tell this is music made with that feeling infused in it to its very core, and it offers me a brief respite from the storm. I hope that at least as an old man I might one day feel the world at peace in a way I have been robbed of as a young man, I just hope the cost isn't too high to get there.
Jesus loves you. He can bring you peace. He made the ultimate sacrifice for you because Jesus loves you. I pray you will accept into your heart and one day then you will get to spend eternity in peace with Jesus in heaven. John 3:16 God be with you. ❤️✝️🙏
My heart , it warms me from the inside by this magnetic static blue instrumentals, if only we could go back in time....😞 Who would you meet if you could? Me should be Sylvia Plath, or Marilyn 💋😍
Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for tonight... while stuck at home fighting a tough sickness, & angry at this weird modern world in which people are superficial, self-absorbed, seem barely human, aren't individuals and don't take good, responsible, kind care of one another anymore. This is music that would've played in my grandparents' little house, and it takes me back to those days :) Very healing. Thank you for this mellow, cheery, perfect mix.
You’re so right. It seems that all people care about is their phones and their social status. The time period that this music captures was really a time to be alive (until the stock crash of course). This is definitely the type of music my grandmother listens to. Hope you have a great day/night and stay healthy and safe! :)
@ImNotMad ButUR Aw! Thank you! I am just now seeing your wonderful comment here :) I hope you are well. I love the thoughts you shared, you've made my night 🌠💖 Oh and you have a moth or a brown butterfly ☺☺☺ I am in love with them, all my life since very early childhood. I had a white one land & sit on my car today, after a dragonfly hovered around it! Your shoes sound wonderful, I totally get that. Yes I've thrift shopped all my adult life, used to wear mostly clothes from 30s to early 60s, so well made, tailored & ladylike. Do you ever watch the YT channels about clothing from past eras? Some of them are amazing, very enriching & relaxing to watch.
This really captures a time and place that I was the most happy in my life.Late night in New York in the fifties, what a great time.Thank you so much. Its great the tempo is just so right.
Ignoring how dangerous everything in the home was and how dangerous just existing was for huge groups of people. I'm quite happy to be alive in the 21st century.
@Randi Szöküld you're true but she's right too lol, but honestly I do feel you're right since this is just music and they shouldn't have bought race/pllitical views into this since music is for everyone to enjoy. But I do understand her pov as a poc myself, sometimes kinda get jealous but then again, it's music and we all gotta learn to love it 😊❤️
I am 3,573,894 Aeons old and there was never a time on this fleeting vessel of despair that the arts were so innovative and truthful. Even though our souls are forever destined for the emptiness of the Old Void, these artists were able to fashion out of their minds pieces that will stand the cruel tests of time and which can bring humans of all ages together under a banner of futile unity.
These were simpler times. We have gotten to a place in this world where respect and love is not common. I’m an old soul since I was young. These were the days where u could get a good job based on your family name or how dependable your dad was , on the merit of his name. Gone are those days but the music is here and it is nice
Oh this music and those years. Back when people had style and where more alive and united unlike now. Individualism (egoism) destroys community as a whole. Thanks for posting this!
There's something so Distinct about the sounds of the 20s/30s/40s that just evokes feeling of Magic, Romance and Majesty. While I do love other music, this sound is one of a kind and I'd definitely find myself putting it on each night for varying reasons.
This music is what I remember playing in the background when I was young. I was a Rock n Roller but as I age I find myself being drawn to these great classics. I’m 79
I'm 62 and still a rocker, especially 90s Grunge up til now, but have always loved smoky jazzy tunes. Blues club type atmosphere. Piano jazz bar vibes.
I am 26 years old, and I love this music so much. I am kinda of an old soul. I listen to all these old classic tunes, and I barely listen to the recent music. I don't know, I just feel so incredibly happy while listening to this old music. And nostalgic. It reminds me of a time that I didn't get to live, but somehow I wished I did, in some ways.
I like house music, but then I have a special place in my heart for music from the 30s and 40s. There's something charming about this music that you feel like you're walking alone after sunset in an old city and this music from the cafes start playing this in the background. You know you just stepped into paradise.
It's Sunday night, I'm chopping vegetables, washing dishes, and getting ready for work tomorrow. This music has been the perfect, relaxing, and easy going music for a calm night. 👍🏿 #oldbutgold
This is the kind of music my 18 and 16 years old daughters love to listen to.both are old souls.Got it from me.and I also got it from my grandfather...❤❤❤
Yes. This is exactly what I was looking for. It's strangely hard to find collections of this style of jazz. It's all up-beat or modern. I only wish this was longer.
While I'm listening to this I imagine myself in my apartmant in the evening after work back in the 40s, a little jazz after a tough work, relaxing, eating. It's just a perfect night.
I listen to this when me and friends get together and play cards. It really sets the mood and makes everyone feel more comfortable. Plus we all like jazz so thats a plus.
I love your music, my Dad that was born 1926 played Big Band music and even though I was born in 1955, I have a great love and admiration for the music and all the artists. Thank you for bring to us this great music 🎶 Penny Martin Rockwell, North Carolina

They can still dance?! Awesome😃
How beautiful! ❤️
How are they?
Did you record it? If you did, you DEF need to upload it here on youtube.
That's so amazing!
I love listening to this while I do my makeup, it makes me feel like a glamourous old Hollywood star
You are a star!
Id like to have an old star!!!
i like listening to it on my phone, while i take a walk through the streets at night

ill bet thats 10 hour choir!
This makes me wanna time travel to an era I never got the chance to live in
U are so right :) me too

Seems to be alot of appreciation for this kinda music from the young crowd today, good to see they arent all mad
Haha tho dont get too excited 😆 im sure the next generation after will not like it and the cycle continues
this comment aged well
@@ammwalks13 heh.
Let's all do the Charleston 🙂
Modern music can be kind of tiring to listen to so here I am.
I cant beleive what weve lost in music compared to today I miss jazz band and playing trombone its sad to graduate and move on and I cany imagine what older folk feel seeing the world change so drastically
Wow this was unexpected and pleasant. RUclips algorithm took me here, and I'm very grateful for it. Perfect for drinking alone and contemplating life, politics and the end of the world.
I like to open a second tab and play some gentle rain along with this and curl up with a good book and a hot tea. Great atmosphere. Thank you.
..i did... is perfect ...thanks for the idea... be happy..stay happy..
@@Gerardo032002 don't forget a few cats or dogs curled on the carpet by the fire with everything else mentioned earlier and you have the perfect day....rain,jazz.tea/coffee/furry friends ❤💙💛💚💜🖤
oh my gosh everyone needs to do this right now
OMG this is the best thing ever!! thank you!!
Yeah I do that using an old phone which can still sign onto wifi! It is the greatest, you're correct!
Listening to this music makes me wish I wasn't single and had someone to dance with.
Does anyone still listen to this? I still do
I just cant work or sleep without this music
Listening to oldies late at night trying to finish a project. Been listening for hours, but as soon as the first song came on, my eyes filled with tears, and I felt intense tingling in my entire body. I grew up in Provence, the child of a jazz musician father and a writer and travelling saleswoman mother who loved music. I know this song like the back of my hand, like the heart of my mind. They used to run completely illegal jazz club nights in the summer months - the Krazy Kats. People would drink and talk and eat, and spill out into the garden. I was always the only child and I watched from afar as the jazz trio or quartet played all through the night. My mum and I drove everywhere, we listened to this one Benny Goodman CD a lot because you could hear it ok over the rumble of her van. She died a couple of summers ago, very sadly and painfully. The people around her forced her to manage everything until the very end, and insisted on denying her condition, so that I was had not idea what was actually happening. I quit my job to go and spend time with her but she died 8 days after I arrived. I never got the chance to talk to her, she was too far gone. She was kept in denial and I never got to say goodbye, either. I tried my best to reach her throughout my life, to love her as she wished, but somehow it never worked out - she wanted to open up to everyone but she was spikes and fortresses with me. I wrote her a long email telling her how much I loved her - she acknowledged it but never answered it in kind. I hope it reached her somehow though... That she knew someone loved her. Before she died. Still. It hurts to never have got an answer, and that I never got to say goodbye. I'm pretty sure Nightfall was a favourite of hers, but I'm not sure how. She told me about a few favourite songs but never that one. It's the feeling of my childhood. Impossibly heavy, and crying out to be preserved at all costs, infinitely precious yet already vanishing. The only way forward is to let it all go. You can't process someone else's sadness for them... Maybe I can tie happier memories to this music in time. I can try. Best of luck to us all...
man, nice vent im sorry
Someone told me that "To heal, one must feel. Never stuff your ferkings." Good advice, I think.
The eloquence with which you wrote this tells me that you have processed thoughts and emotions that many never even acknowledge. Your healing is likely much farther along than you may believe. I know that, to you, I am no one and nothing, but your story spoke to me and I appreciate you for that. Thank you and my best wishes.
As you write, The only way forward is to let it all go. You are a caring person. We don't know why the fortress was built, it may have been built many years before you came on the scene. But this pain reminds me of the Fox in The Little Prince. God bless you, you are struggling towards the Real.
Hope you are well there, friend. ❤️🙏💞
My grandmother is 100yrs old, my mom's 80, I'm 50, my daughter is 30 and my granddaughter is 11. I remember my grandmother playing this at breakfast. I fell in love with the era, and I passed this love and appreciation of the turn of the century music to my daughter and granddaughter. This is lovely! ❤🌹
God bless you and your family. It's so wonderful that you can enjoy this together.
God bless you and your family!
Wow 5 generations
I like old classic. It doesn't feel old to me at all. It's like discovering and liking them
Same here
I’m 14 and now I’m here listening to my grandfather’s style of music on RUclips...
I'm 17 and happened across this video and felt like listening to something new and can't lie your grandfather's era was most definitely something else my guy
I'm in my 60's, but I first learned to love this older music back when I was 6 years old and I got my first little plastic record player and my dad gave me his stack of old 78s to play. They were so much fun! I put on Frank Sinatra and Bix Beiderbeck (look him up - he is the coolest!) and Harry James, and all these great musicians, and everyone else was listening to what they called "bubble gum" music. And now, I am still listening to this same great music, because it is just great musicianship.
Keep listening, because great music never dies.
@@libertytree3209 I agree.... this kind of music is so relaxing even for one so far out in Indonesia.
haha I came here after reading a book with a character who died in the 1930s and he enjoyed this type of music so here I am listening to it now reading a book and I must say it’s rather calming and pleasant!
WindDancing Tree yes sir or mam, it definitely is!
My parents were born in the 20's. They listened to this music when they were young.
I feel like I'm stuck in Tom and Jerry episodes... I would love that though...
omg yes
And that other very old cartoon, with the round-faced black cat...
@@iahelcathartesaura3887 Felix the cat?
Omg so true...❤️🔥😍
Same!
I’m hosting an open house at a home built in the 1920s and am using this as my ambient background music. Just loving daydreaming of what life was like back then in Burns Court Sarasota, FL
So happy I found this ❤
I have so many of these in my collection of 78s. I like to bring them out on a snowy night, light a fire (in the fireplace) enjoy a good cigar and a little brandy and wind up the old victrola.
Why don't you fucking shove it?
I imagine the young GI's getting a few last dances before going to the front in WW2.
Music from when people had class, self respect, dignity, shame and integrity. Wonderful indeed. I was born far too late.
No you just like old music like the rest of us here
You're truly correct about the class, etc. I'm sick to death looking at jeans hanging down around the ass cheeks!
@@brandishaw778 Yes, or pajamas in public. Homeless people dressed better in the 1930s than millionaires today. Sad times for sure. Glad I'm not alone in my thoughts on such things.
Concur.
Except women were second class citizens and racism was rampant. I think people forget that when thinking how allegedly wonderful the past was.
I think part of the reason this music and this era is so appealing is that there was no time pressure, you were alive and could just dance the night away. You had won, you had made it, just by the virtue of still breathing in that moment. That is a feeling I have been searching for ever since childhood, and I'll probably meet my grave before I do, but I can tell this is music made with that feeling infused in it to its very core, and it offers me a brief respite from the storm. I hope that at least as an old man I might one day feel the world at peace in a way I have been robbed of as a young man, I just hope the cost isn't too high to get there.
Jesus loves you. He can bring you peace. He made the ultimate sacrifice for you because Jesus loves you. I pray you will accept into your heart and one day then you will get to spend eternity in peace with Jesus in heaven. John 3:16
God be with you. ❤️✝️🙏
im 95 and this music reminds of good old days
You look in your teens
I’m 20
Musica meravigliosa e rilassante...me la sto godendo insieme ad un bicchiere di Rum...magic moments...😎🎶🥃
My heart , it warms me from the inside by this magnetic static blue instrumentals, if only we could go back in time....😞 Who would you meet if you could?
Me should be Sylvia Plath, or Marilyn 💋😍
This, plus a joint, is enough to teleport you back
Im in my 20's young black man and I appreciate this whole work of art 🔥💙
How the situation at America bro?
@@Salman2323Putera I wasn't informed on what your speaking about, do you care to enlighten me on this situation your speaker about?
@@BigOTheRapper97 I'm from another country. Do you american like biden
Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for tonight... while stuck at home fighting a tough sickness, & angry at this weird modern world in which people are superficial, self-absorbed, seem barely human, aren't individuals and don't take good, responsible, kind care of one another anymore.
This is music that would've played in my grandparents' little house, and it takes me back to those days :) Very healing. Thank you for this mellow, cheery, perfect mix.
You’re so right. It seems that all people care about is their phones and their social status. The time period that this music captures was really a time to be alive (until the stock crash of course). This is definitely the type of music my grandmother listens to. Hope you have a great day/night and stay healthy and safe! :)
God bless you stay compassionate....
@ImNotMad ButUR Aw! Thank you! I am just now seeing your wonderful comment here :) I hope you are well. I love the thoughts you shared, you've made my night 🌠💖
Oh and you have a moth or a brown butterfly ☺☺☺ I am in love with them, all my life since very early childhood. I had a white one land & sit on my car today, after a dragonfly hovered around it! Your shoes sound wonderful, I totally get that. Yes I've thrift shopped all my adult life, used to wear mostly clothes from 30s to early 60s, so well made, tailored & ladylike.
Do you ever watch the YT channels about clothing from past eras? Some of them are amazing, very enriching & relaxing to watch.

This really captures a time and place that I was the most happy in my life.Late night in New York in the fifties, what a great time.Thank you so much. Its great the tempo is just so right.
Don Bagley wish I could’ve been there to see it all!
How about late '40s, met my wife of 62 years, good times never stoped, though didnt know it at the time.
Gunther Dertz you met you wife in late 40s? How old are you, you must be like 90 or so
@@synergous571 hi, thanks for asking, 92, gunther
@@guntherdertz9554 are you a veteran?
my favorite balcony music
This kind of music ages like fine wine
My love for classic black and white movies has me in love with this music
Anyone else wish they should’ve been born around this time? Or ready to experience good music and times such as what this all resembles?
I rather now, where we have the entire selection of the past and people building upon it with swing hop and electro swing
@Alexander Wilson sounds nice :)
@Alexander Wilson enjoy it mate
I love playing this while reading The Great Gatsby
I love the 1940s, most of my nights I read a book about WWII history and while I listen to this. It feels calm, chill, and romantic. 👍🏻
For everyone but Jews and Asian smh..and black ppl 🤷🏾♀️..but I love this music..I think of my grandmothers
Ignoring how dangerous everything in the home was and how dangerous just existing was for huge groups of people. I'm quite happy to be alive in the 21st century.
Oh yes, a World War. How calm, chill and romantic.
@Randi Szöküld you're true but she's right too lol, but honestly I do feel you're right since this is just music and they shouldn't have bought race/pllitical views into this since music is for everyone to enjoy. But I do understand her pov as a poc myself, sometimes kinda get jealous but then again, it's music and we all gotta learn to love it 😊❤️
Music back then was better and more romantic. Nothing romantic about that war, tho. Nothing at all.
I am 3,573,894 Aeons old and there was never a time on this fleeting vessel of despair that the arts were so innovative and truthful. Even though our souls are forever destined for the emptiness of the Old Void, these artists were able to fashion out of their minds pieces that will stand the cruel tests of time and which can bring humans of all ages together under a banner of futile unity.
These were simpler times. We have gotten to a place in this world where respect and love is not common. I’m an old soul since I was young. These were the days where u could get a good job based on your family name or how dependable your dad was , on the merit of his name. Gone are those days but the music is here and it is nice
I just cannot get tired of this playlist.
these songs from the 30s and 40s are very beautiful, they are from the time of my grandparents, I love everything that is that wonderful time.
Oh this music and those years. Back when people had style and where more alive and united unlike now. Individualism (egoism) destroys community as a whole.
Thanks for posting this!
I was born in 1991, but I have always felt like a 1900's born. I love the music here.
These songs are like wine; they get better with age.
well said
So thankful to humankind for archiving this music it deserves to exist in time immemorial.
There's something so Distinct about the sounds of the 20s/30s/40s that just evokes feeling of Magic, Romance and Majesty.
While I do love other music, this sound is one of a kind and I'd definitely find myself putting it on each night for varying reasons.
Listening by the balcony at night, ocean view, only moonlight, glass of wine and just chilling with my girl.
aww how wholesome and romantic :')
Do you really need to get drunk to enjoy your girl
Iam 53 and this reminds me of my past life!
I'm 14/15 now and I really like these simple instrumental calming musics. That's also the reason why I like old cartoons haha
So true !!!! 👍
Old cartoons are the best!
come back to this comment
I listened to this while reading an Agatha Christie story and it was just perfect, thanks
This music is what I remember playing in the background when I was young. I was a Rock n Roller but as I age I find myself being drawn to these great classics. I’m 79
I'm 62 and still a rocker, especially 90s Grunge up til now, but have always loved smoky jazzy tunes. Blues club type atmosphere. Piano jazz bar vibes.
I would love to be in the observation car on a passenger train listening to this.😊👍🏻
My nana always enjoyed this type of music and it is very relaxing when I study
I am 26 years old, and I love this music so much. I am kinda of an old soul. I listen to all these old classic tunes, and I barely listen to the recent music. I don't know, I just feel so incredibly happy while listening to this old music. And nostalgic. It reminds me of a time that I didn't get to live, but somehow I wished I did, in some ways.
Happy Music *･. .｡.:*･･*♪🎶
A dark era, yet eerily met with class.
Heaven in my ears.
Classic jazz really is the most romantic genre of music in existence.
I like house music, but then I have a special place in my heart for music from the 30s and 40s. There's something charming about this music that you feel like you're walking alone after sunset in an old city and this music from the cafes start playing this in the background. You know you just stepped into paradise.
Ngl, seems like we have the exact same music taste :D wish u the best
Same here
A different time,,a different place....I wasnt even born when this came out,,but my how things have changed,,,helps me relax though..Thanks for this
It's Sunday night, I'm chopping vegetables, washing dishes, and getting ready for work tomorrow. This music has been the perfect, relaxing, and easy going music for a calm night. 👍🏿 #oldbutgold
🎉this music makes me think of starry-eyed people head over heels in love
Chillin in the corner by myself at Starbucks with a latte
On a cloudy day thinking of yesterday
This is the kind of music my 18 and 16 years old daughters love to listen to.both are old souls.Got it from me.and I also got it from my grandfather...❤❤❤
Yes. This is exactly what I was looking for. It's strangely hard to find collections of this style of jazz. It's all up-beat or modern.
I only wish this was longer.
I play this with the speakers behind my 1936 Zenith table top radio... Relaxing, to say the least.....
Jazzy Jazzy Jazz. I love Jazz.
This is Heaven...
It's amazing how music can change your mood in an instant ♡
👍🏻💕
While I'm listening to this I imagine myself in my apartmant in the evening after work back in the 40s, a little jazz after a tough work, relaxing, eating. It's just a perfect night.
i mean you could still do this today?
I listen to this when me and friends get together and play cards. It really sets the mood and makes everyone feel more comfortable. Plus we all like jazz so thats a plus.
I wish so much that I had the stereo console I grew up with. It would be so great to play this music on it. 🥰
Oh hell yes, someone bring me a martini and a cigar.
Champagne cocktail for me!
Care to dance, anyone?
