We'll be moving to a two thread per month schedule until the FanPosts stop pushing us off the front page. Don't worry about reccing our posts. We can save that distinction for other posts. I'll just make a new thread when we get pushed off.

Three Versions of the Same Jazz Standard

Lionel Hampton and Sonny Burke wrote Midnight Sun, which was later given marvelous lyrics by the amazing Johnny Mercer.

My Favorite Version with Lyrics: Ella Fitzgerald — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f53xo_NNF8

A Version by the Original Artist: Lionel Hampton — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0HQh19XLYo

A Recent Version by Esperanza Spalding — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdNlcm-DILs

Spalding is probably the most important young voice in jazz at the moment.
