Episode 340- Great Musical Compositions, Part 3

Some more great recordings of (mostly) tunes that I've discovered from Chuck Sher's "Standards Real Book". They include (not in order):

• On a Clear Day You Can See Forever (played by Howard Roberts and crew)

• Hey There (a beautiful version by pianist Tommy Banks and singer Big Miller---both from Edmonton)

• If I Should Lose You (a lovely standard played and sung by Sweden's Ellas Kapell...featuring the amazing guitar of Manne Skavenstedt)

• Wheelers and Dealers (a very timely Dave Frishberg song, here sung by Kelly Eisenhour with Bob Minter on sax)

• (not in standards real book) Duke Ellington/Billy Strayhorn Medly, played by Greg Burrows big band (Ed Bonoff arrangement).

• Christmas Time Is Here (yeah I know its not yet), played by guitarist Mike Rud with pianist John Stetch.

• The Man I Love (What a version by Don Shirley....and his trio of cello and bass. ten minutes long, and never boring!)

• Sunny, written by Bobby Hebb. Here played by Oscar Peterson on hammond organ, with Joe Pass and Ray Brown

• Meditation, by the composer, Antonio Carlos Jobim, with vocal by Frank Sinatra).

• That Sunday That Summer, played by pianist Beegie Adair and her trio.

• Red Clay, by Freddie Hubbard...here played by The Ed Vedzinho Hiptet. (how many in a hiptet? Answer: as many as you want)
