Music sets the tone and can change one’s mood. It acts fast and without filters bringing more joy and light in our lives. There’s a lot of Jazz musicians and Jazz fans in New Hampshire. My goal in writing about John Coltrane and “Why Jazz is everywhere” was to elicit Ink Link readers’ own stories as to how they found their joy in this genre of music that continues to draw audiences nearly 100 years since it came on the scene.
Music has a unique way of setting the mood. A song can dictate the atmosphere or vibe of a specific setting, or it can fuel certain conversations. Jazz can be fitting for the serene feeling that comes with the autumn season. This is the creative nexus for the show “City Lights & Blue Lights,” which is being put on by the Symphony New Hampshire Jazz Quartet at The Rex Theatre in Manchester on November 6. The show starts at 7:30 p.m and it features a diverse set of music that’s both rhythmic and soulful.
