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.

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.:-)
