The Emerald City Jazz Kings continue their Three Little Words series as Steve and the Jazz Kings 9 are joined by Michael Stone and Julie Alsin for an evening in the heavens as they explore how American Songbook composers dealt with the effects of natural phenomena on romance. It turns out to be a wide-open field. For example, many variants of “night” and “day” turn up in song titles, e.g., morning, evening, sunrise, sunset, dawn, twilight, noon and midnight. All of the seasons—spring, summer, autumn and winter—are well represented. Even more popular are titles evoking the effects on romance of the elements—sun, moon, stars, wind, rain and snow. An evening of wonderful songs including "Twilight In Turkey", "Blue Moon", "Swinging On A Star", "Fly Me To The Moon", "Love And The Weather", "Moonlight Serenade", "Pennies From Heaven", "On The Sunny Side of the Street" and many more!
