Jazz: Autumn Leaves by Chet Baker (1974)
Scotch: The Balvenie DoubleWood, Aged 12 Years
Lean back and enjoy Chet Baker's "cool jazz" classic, Autumn Leaves, a play on soft Brazilian bossa jazz with a warm, yet haunting trumpet lead. While you're at it, pour yourself a glass of The Balvenie's DoubleWood, a single malt scotch aged 12 years in an oak sherry cask. Mellow notes of cinnamon spice and nutty oak with sherry overtones and a long, warm finish.

The Post
Summer's in full swing here and I'm already thinking about the fall. Nothing gets the autumn mood going like a rustic wood wall and nautical themes! Or maybe the burnt sienna shade of the wooden planks just remind me too much of a glazed, over-roasted Turkey on Thanksgiving Day? Whatever the season, navy, tan, and white make a great color combination that compliments any outfit. Moving on down, chino shorts are typically cut from chino pants, giving them a slimmer profile. The best fit for these shorts is an inch or two above the knee (2.5-5 cm for my international readers). Lastly, the shoes! As a shoe aficionado, I have many, MANY pairs of shoes made from all sorts of material - canvas, leather, suede, etc. In warmer weather, I prefer to go in suede loafers because they add a touch of class to whatever outfit you wear and, as an added bonus, suede doesn't crack in heat like leather. So the next time you go out in the sweltering summer heat, consider taking out a pair of suedes.
Until next time!
