Threaded Thursday: Still Lovesome 🌸🍂

The tune served as the title track of Vince's second album, so he was clearly fond of Strayhorn's composition. I'd like to think Billy himself was pleased with this thoughtful, understated interpretation.
Vince's trio on the session featured guitarist Eddie Duran and bassist Dean Reilly, and the album is filled with equally tasteful performances.
Falling Leaves, Floating Notes 🍁
Among them is the perennial favorite Autumn Leaves, which feels especially appropriate during this autumnal stretch between Halloween and Thanksgiving:
Like the title track, Vince approaches the standard with warmth and restraint, letting the melody do the work. It's a lovely performance from a lovely album.
Christmas Is Coming... 🎄
And speaking of Vince, the holiday season is approaching faster than we'd like to admit. That means I'll be spinning his soundtrack for A Charlie Brown Christmas early and often in the weeks ahead!
