i adore this man and this music - what a wonderful world if i listen to this back to back for a bit it REALLY helps!
and a bit of satchmo and ella - summertime!
for a different summertime version. i enjoy heifetz playing i think he had a really light touch with the violin - ideally suited for gershwin, as really easy to be overly indulgent with the music - singers get away with it, the violin doesn’t! He arranged a fair number of gershwin’s pieces, and was particularly good at sounding like 2 violins! a violin hero of mine - click through some of the other links!
this also helps - i believe it is also a favourite of Jax - somewhere over the rainbow
anyone else needing a chillpill and a musical rescue remedy?

See I would - but madam always has the telly on whilst I’m bloghopping and grumbles about me having the sound on the computer.
And then I never remember to listen when she’s gone to bed. Will make more effort tonight.

musical rescue remedy always welcome and Eva Cassidy indeed a family favourite - Small’s baby music
(the last song we listened to before he was born, mainly because after the second time through I was otherwise occupied and didn’t set it going again 
)
You’ve got one of Tim’s faves there too.

He’s walked past me sighing and being exasperated but won’t let me turn the tv off.
