I assume you want people to try to play from memory, for if I went to a music database and typed in the name of some jazz standard [Birdland, A-Train, How High the Moon, etc…] I would get a list of just about every jazz artist ever. 😉 ## Peace. Slight Hijack - what _is_ the most recorded jazz standard? ---

It would be great if memory would suffice, but there’s no way to enforce such a rule so it’s pointless to try. I have no idea about the most recorded jazz standard or tune, but I would bet that the chord changes to “I Got Rhythm” have been used more than any other set. That reuse of chord sequences to support different melodies is common enough and the “heads” built from similar progressions are numerous. How High The Moon is another, as is A Train and Round Midnight. I imagine some website has that trivia but I don’t know which. Good questions, though. ---

Player #24 – Oscar Peterson, piano (This to get us back on track since JJ and Chet both recorded with previously mentioned Stan Getz and Getz recorded with Peterson) Unless the new player plays the same instrument, please indicate how the switch in instruments is connected (band, combo, recording, state, whatever) Mulligan and Baker are connected from their pianoless quartet of the 50’s. ---
