Jazz at a St. Patrick's Day Party

The track list travels through the day rather than repeating one green-tinted idea. A parade opens the public celebration, while Luck of the Irish Tonight, Pot of Gold, Kiss Me I'm Irish, and the leprechaun's martini spot bring romance, mischief, and lounge-room sparkle. Raise A Glass To Ireland and A Toast to All Of Us turn the final stretch toward gratitude and company. That arc makes the record useful as more than background music. It can welcome guests, accompany dinner, and grow livelier as the room fills. The jazz arrangements keep the holiday warm and grown-up, while the choruses leave enough room for everyone—Irish for a lifetime or only for tonight—to join the table.
