You and the Night and the Music

Since the dawn of jazz as a genre, songwriters and composers have found the night to be a rich seam of inspiration. Whether it's the lonely feelings that find us around midnight, the fear that love won't outlast the dark, or the excitement of what an evening might bring as the hours draw on, poets and musicians through the ages have celebrated night in all its flavours. For some, it's a quiet time for reflection. For others, its fleeting impermanence echoes the throes of passion and new love. The night buzzes and hums with energy and is gone.

The dark liberates, thrills and excites us. The silence reveals truths we don't dare whisper and secrets we'd rather forget. Questions that never leave our lips. Shall we dance? Is this love? Will you stay?

Come and experience the different aspects of the night through songs like Quiet Now by Bill Evans, The Shadow of Your Smile by Johnny Mandel, ‘Round Midnight by Thelonious Monk, Moon River by Henry Mancini from Breakfast at Tiffany’s and more enchanting pieces.
