Discovering Jazz

Episode 326: Songs That Remind Us Of Other Songs, Part 3

N/A • 15 juli 2025

This one starts and ends with the great Brazilian composer, Antonio Carlos Jobim. One tune that may have been influenced by a classic Miles Davis recording, and another inspired by Chopin.

And speaking of Miles Davis, I also play a track from a fairly modern album that is a re-imagining of one of his Birth of The Cool sessions. It's by Winnipeg trombonist and arranger, Jeff Preslaff.

You'll also hear two very similar Benny Golson compositions, one played by Buddy Emmons with Lenny Breau, and the other by Bobby Hutcherson.

Then there's what I think may be one of the most played songs at jazz jam sessions---and the Broadway musical that may have been inspired by that delightful composition.

Then I play three segments of tunes (originally from Broadway musicals)---which I don't normally do. But these are songs that you hear someone playing and then, risk mis-identifying it as one of the other two.

And I close with a touch of Frank. I mean, why not? From an album he did with Antonio Carlos Jobim.
