Episode 283: Cole Porter and Jazz, Part 3

N/A • 20 augusti 2024

This is the last of my three part series all about Cole Porter and his music---and why jazz musicians love him.

I was inspired for this episode by Ted Gioa's delightful boook, The Jazz Standards, where he gives us stories behind the songs and recommends some of the most interesting versions.

You'll hear:

All Of You, by Miles Davis.
You'd Be So Easy to Love, by Edmonton's P.J. Perry with Kenny Barron
Just One Of Those Things, by Ella Fitzgerald
Just One Of Those Things, by Coleman Hawkins with Teddy Wilson
Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye, by Theo Bleckmann and Ben Monder
I Love You, by Mike Stern
Miss Otis Regrets, by Gregory Porter
Love For Sale, by Billie Holiday with Oscar Peterson
You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To, by Cecil Taylor
You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To, by Suzannah Adams (from Victoria, B.C.)

You'll also hear how he had determined that one of those tunes was going to be a "Jewish song". And another one came from a musical where Igor Stravinsky wrote the ballet music. And another he wrote at a party after he heard a cowboy's lament song on the radio and wanted to parody it.
