November Rain concept has gone viral recently especially after the Guns N' Roses hit that was released in 1991. Music always enriches the mood of the season, brings company and warmth.

However, one of the musical genres brings intimacy- Jazz. This listing provides some Jazz songs recommendations for having a warm atmosphere for the sweet cold Rain.

Moonlight in Vermont

Jazz has various icons and Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong come on the top especially with their duets. "Moonlight in Vermont" is a calm nocturnal song. The sweet raindrops can be traced through the successive piano tunes and Fitzgerald's magical voice and of course Armstrong's iconic trumpet sound and classic voice.

Don't Explain - Angela McCluskey

Although McCluskey is a famous rock/folk musician, her cover of celebrated jazzist Billi Holiday's "Don't Explain" has a sorrowful and darkened Jazz spirit that doesn't exist in the original. There is a real taste of bitterness and brokenness in the tunes of the song.

Early Autumn

The name of the song is expressive. Beautiful catchy sounds imitate the fearful intro of autumn and the sounds of the falling leave. Fitzgerald, in her song, is expressing the painful flow of old memories that can spark feelings of loneliness.

Your Heart is Black as Night -Beth Hart & Joe Bonamass

This track carries beautiful piano tunes enriched with rhythmic guitar melodies. It has this warm mood of blaming your beloved. The beats can symbolize the sounds of rain. In addition, those harmonious vibes can bring the coldness of a rainy night.

What a Wonderful World -Louis Armstrong

The queen of Jazz gems is Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World." It is a catchy, short, and optimistic song that carries vivid musical vibes. Its riffs can dissolve the gray thick clouds of your mood.

Between the Bars - Drei Jazz Quartet (Elliot Smith Cover)

It is one of the most emotional covers of Elliot Smith's hit "Between the Bars." The German Drei Jazz Quartet beautifully turns this acoustic/indie piece into a magical jazz song. The gray inked tunes presented in real sorrowful vocals. It is one of the best tracks which approach the real sense of Autumn and Winter.
