A Jazz Inspired Halloween Playlist

A Jazz Inspired Halloween Playlist | Alex Inspired
Music always makes us happier, or puts us in a festive mood

… let’s start to get jovial with A Jazz Inspired Halloween Playlist…

Listen to my Jazz Inspired Halloween Playlist on Spotify!

I LOVE Vince Guaraldi, and have always been a fan of “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” (thanks mum!). I have compiled a few of my favourite jazz inspired tracks here, which incorporate the spirit of Halloween on a less spooky scale.

Tracks range from classical jazz to the soundtrack from Practical Magic (yes Lime in the Coconut could be considered a Halloween delight).  I’m a particular fan of “Nightmare” by Artie Shaw, due to my love for the “Aviator” soundtrack.

No, Monster Mash is not included.

Great Pumpkin Waltz by Vince Guaraldi
That Old Black Magic by Ella Fitzgerald
Practical Magic by Alan Silvestri
Lime In The Coconut by Harry Nilsson
Linus and Lucy by Vince Guaraldi
Nightmare by Artie Shaw and His Orchestra

I Put a Spell on You by Nina Simone

Hi, I’m Alex.
I love local stories, historic drama, and swearing at my laptop while redesigning this site for the 18th time.
Grab a coffee and dig into some 1900s gossip with me! Special shout-out to my cousin, K-A for snapping this pic! 👆🏽
