Episode 105: Six Great Songs and their Stories

You’ll hear anywhere from one to three versions of each of these 6 jazz compositions. Two of those recordings are also a tribute to two jazz artists who recently died as a result of COVID19: Lee Konitz and Wallace Roney.

The tunes are: East of the Sun (West of the Moon), There is No Greater Love, Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most, Desafinado, Airegin, and Hey There.

P.S. Upon posting, I learned that Discovering Jazz made it up to #7 on the Hong Kong music podcast charts (it’s currently riding at #18). Hello to all the Hong Kong listeners. I’d love to hear from you.
