Jazz Standards.

I Fall in Love too easily

Tune by Jules Styne and Lyrics by Sammy Cahn in 1944. Popularised by the Hollywood Film, Anchors Aweigh starring Frank sinatra in 1945 (he beat the jazz greats to this tune :) just being a bit of shit disturber here). No great fanfare in terms of subsequent takes/recordings by other artists till 10 years later in 1954 when our man, Chet Baker does a beautiful, dreamy and ruminative version of his which personally for me is the definitive version of this song (feel free to share if you fall in love easily with another take of this song). Miles, played it multiple times and handled it beautifully each time. The plethora of jazz artists covering this tune leads me to the very scientific conclusion that they all fell in love too easily. Gregory Porter has covered it more recently.

The title reminds me of so many people I once knew ;)
Many jazz standards have very evocative and romantic titles, e.g. It Never Entered my Mind, In the Wee small hours of the morning, Willow weep for me, (I get) Misty (just holding your hand)....

Cutting & pasting on Tidal search.... Listening & saving the tracks which I like. Multiple choices for every track... Thank you FiftyFifty

cheers
 
Great idea to create a tidal playlist and share!
This is slightly OT.Are these titles available in tidal hifi at a higher resolution than 320 kbps? I have Spotify playlists but resolution is an issue.I don't have tidal as this VPN issue is beyond me.Can I have tidal hi-fi through my son who is in the USA and play it through my windows 10 J River laptop which is my present digital source for Spotify?
Thanks.

@Fiftyfifty and as expansive as a James Joyce novel. ;)
 
"It’s also quite common to come across good songs that are played often enough to be familiar, yet the names of their composers don’t ring any bells."

If you are in the discovery mode or snooping for stuff. Enjoyable read.
