That's crazy that when I entered a jazz program like 8/10 of these tunes became my favorite to play over the super standards. I simply love the sounds and techniques used in these tunes, they have more color to them. I didn't think of them for impact or education purposes. They actually seem more quirky and distinctive

I'll never forget playing with Roy at Wally's in Boston before he became a jazz star. The gig was on Wednesdays. He would take the train to New York Friday afternoon, play a gig Friday night, sleep on the floor of the club in the back room, play a gig at a different club Saturday night, then catch the train back to Boston Sunday to go to school. We smoked a bunch of pot back then.

Love these "new" standards - Lush Life is one of the most beautiful compositions, but also Infant Eyes. Coltrane played the first with Johnny Hartman (McCoy, Elvin & Garrison) - Stan Getz played them both on the album Live at Montmartre (1977) - a concert I attended.

This was a sublime list. Lush Life a real treat at the end. Others I've adopted as party pieces are Black Nile (Wayne Shorter), Field of Gold (Morricone - basically "that" music from The Good The Bad The Ugly) and Lullaby of Birdland (George Shearing, in memory of a friend who always played it as his last piece in gigs). The song I have by far the most fun with is Tea for Two (Youmans, with more than an echo of Shostakovich and Tatum). There's something in its catchy, simple tune that can make it pivot from petite to frenzied on a dime.

I must agree on Spain, Ruby My Dear and also Au Privave. But with my love for karaoke, composing, and also having performance history with pop singers, I immersed myself in playing 40-50 standards in all 12 keys almost 15+ years ago, when I was still fresh out of college and trying to find a job, music or just a regular day job. While I can't play them all the standards in all keys, I'd think it's a great exercise for the ears, and particularly myself playing piano, understand the chord progression by just numbers, not the letters itself.

I always love hearing new music. Everytime I accidentally assume the next note, I get humbled by a different note and sometimes no notes. Every new tune is new, so while I do undergo similar stages of humbling, I always feel it differently because the tune is new. I know about this and I enjoy the "kitsuke", or snapping back to reality, so I like basking in the eternal improvisation of the world. Some people don't, and I completely understand why, so I try repeating the same tunes while they are in my presence. I don't think musicians are stuck playing the same standards. I think the people feel uncomfortable stepping outside their comfort zone, and the same people so happen to keep enslaving musicians in a tight economy of supply and demand. I mean, I memorized all the tunes I enjoy in my mind inside my invisible iTunes. Therefore people deep inside must feel the true want of experiencing a great tune just when they think they had completely forgotten, and the price is to both forget and keep alive the music. Musicians need more compensation and national dignity from the people, the very people who try fervently denying any need until they do need during, for instance, a blackout or hospitalization. They say deaf people too feel the rhythm through vibration on skin. Old people especially should start practicing listening to vibrations. I as a student of music pay attention to the comparison of my reaction to earlier iterations of musical recreation. I try noticing whether my improv style has been influenced, or whether my mind has adopted new frequencies of conduction. Ignorant people take these things for granted, and when they realize their minds have become monotonous and completely in sync with millions of others, it's too late to change them given the fact that all of them never even tipped a street artist they actually enjoyed.

Thoughts on the video as I watch: Ruby My Dear W ballad Strasbourg St. Denis is such a great tune, I heard it so much at sessions in college that it kind of got played out and no one plays it, but they should. Au Privave is definitely an underplayed blues. Wayne ❤️ Lush Life is so beautiful. Billy Strayhorn wrote so many incredible compositions, Chelsea Bridge, Take The A Train, UMMG, so many more. Seriously awesome tunes on this list. Love that you threw in some newer tunes that resonate with the new generation of musicians, that’s how we move the music forward!

One solution for me is to perform one of my own tunes. I sometimes get more applause then I do on standards : ). BTW, that's a great choice of tunes you've selected. I've been been playing "In A Sentimental Mood," for seemingly eons. Au Privave ... my wife would say "On The Privy" : ) I love Lush Life with the images of Strayhorn and Ellington. Wouldn't you just love to spend some time with them, just chatting over a cup of coffee or two. On the list I'd also include Herbie Hancock's "Dolphin Dance." I just love the way it so effortlessly modulates through the assorted keys. One final recommendation is the Irving Berlin ballad, "What'll I Do?" I did it a bunch of years with a clarinet, piano, bass, drums combo. (I love clarinet. I feel it's one of the most under-appreciated jazz instruments). The bassist hadn't played it before. When done, he leans over and says, "That has to be one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever played."

I was at a jam session up in Hartford CT, run by horn players (at least they were calling most of the tunes), and it was hard bop city! Yet, as a pianist, I tend to focus more on tunes recorded by Bill Evans, Ahmad Jamal, Keith Jarrett, etc.
