The last episode of Richard Rodgers and Jazz. This week I explore more jazz interpretations of his great tunes. I include some insightful observations from the book The Jazz Standards by Ted Gioia of some of those tunes.

Artists you'll hear include Brad Mehldau, Buddy Greco, Sarah Vaughan, Bob Dorough, The Bad Plus, Betty Carter, Frank Sinatra, Oscar Peterson, Sophie Milman, Andrew Hill, Tony Bennett, and Hank Mobley.
