You are right...it is a toss-up. I can’t decide.

This is where you hit the Law of Diminishing Returns.

What's the difference between a $5,000 sound system and a $30,000 sound system?

$25,000.

Only a passing bat could tell the difference.

Or a dolphin.

THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

JEROME KERN

SWING TIME: “THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT”

This is early Lady Day, recorded in 1936 when the song was fresh and hadn’t yet become a standard. This is a solid jazz fox trot version backed by some great sidemen.

Billie Holiday: “The Way You Look Tonight”

[Mears]

I LOVE jazz——one of the best nights of my life was spent in Birdland,in NYC, approx. 1958,———Lester Young-—the smokiest room I was ever in.:-)

I have a lot of jazz treatments of this song tonight.

[Mears]

Great—there was also a club in Boston called Storyville that we used to go to——good times.

SWING TIME: “THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT”

This late Forties recording features a whole lot of jazz sidemen who made it big in later years.

Coleman Hawkins: “The Way You Look Tonight”

I did not particularly like Bugs Henderson when I met him, but he was OK and I miss his sour face.

Roll on Bugs...

I always thought that “Fernando” was the anthem of a future war between the US and Mexico.

First they called it be-bop, but as the Fifties rolled on, it became Progressive Jazz. This is from 1954.

SWING TIME: “THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT”

Progressive Jazz was one of the most interesting things to come out of Fifties music. This is a 4-hand piano masterpiece.
