Get happy music.

Paul Schoenfield’s Café Music.

There’s something infectious about these beautifully crafted compositions. While there are certainly jazz idioms throughout, your Tatler’s ears tell him Schoenfield’s oeuvres are more a hybrid of classical and jazz; jazzy compositions using classical forms and nomenclature, i.e, presto, andante, etc. There is also an element of what might be called “controlled chaos,” evoking Spike Jones.

Perhaps though, it’s wiser to pay no mind to the Tatler’s slightly preposterous jargon above and just throw this on the ol’ digital Victrola, sit back and enjoy it.
