What’s on your summer playlist? When the sun gets hot and the days get long and slow, my musical taste gets a bit more conservative. The music that goes well with an iced tea in the backyard on a July Saturday is a certain subset of the usual rotation here. My list includes:
- Brazilian jazz
- 60s Motown hits
- Generic “oldies” (usually I can’t stand this stuff)
- Classical piano, especially Satie and Mozart
- Older, slower ska (no 90s stuff please)
- Spanish guitar music
What’s your list? What’s summer music? I’m interested.

Summer’s the season of the Chamber Music Festival in the Seattle area, so I associate the two and tend more toward classical tastes in the warmer months.
In no particular order, a few other types I prefer in summer:
Many artists I liked in the early ’90s, such as the fat lady sings and 10,000 Maniacs, because those were great summers and the music reminds me.
Folk, which I first encountered in summertime festivals in Salt Lake City and other places.
Live jazz — love the improvisational quality.

Chamber music is so beautiful, and rare to see performed well. I grew up going to the Laguna Beach Chamber Music Society concerts which had topflight artists inexplicably playing in a high school auditorium. I still love quartet and trio music to this day.

The last trio I heard was Eroica Trio at Benaroya Hall… beautiful show, I was really impressed by them. They played with such passion, the three of them filling the hall with such intense full sound. Amazing how three instruments can produce such a feast for the ears.

So far it’s been non-stop White Stripes, mostly the first two albums. Something about that southern Blues sound with really noisy guitar suits the heat.
When it rains I go back to the Hives and the Repo Man soundtrack.
