Episode 285, Songs I Hear At Jam Sessions Part 2
Manage episode 437942781 series 2150622
I've selected six tunes that I commonly hear at the Tuesday night jam sessions at Edmonton's Yardbird Suite jazz club. And I've added one that I wish would get played---as it's the only tune in the oft use Real Book Vol. 1 Sixth Edition written by a woman. And one of the very few written by a Canadian.
So here they are:
Dexterity
In A Mellotone (sometimes spelled 'Mellow Tone')
Bye Bye Blackbird
Oleo
Impressions
Straight No Chaser.
And the one written by a Canadian female? I'll Never Smile Again.
I play recordings by Oscar Peterson & Dave Young, Django Reinhardt, Frank Sinatra w. Tommy Dorsey, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Rachel Caswell, Bjorn Johansen, Dave McMurdo Jazz Orchestra, McCoy Tyner, and Duke Ellington., and a bit from The Harmonizers.
