"The Very Thought of You" is a pop standard published in 1934, with music and lyrics by Ray Noble. In addition to Noble's own hit recording of the song with his orchestra, featuring the vocals of Al Bowlly, there was also a popular version recorded that same year by Bing Crosby. A decade later, the song was on the charts again in a version by Vaughn Monroe. Doris Day sang the song in the 1950 movie Young Man with a Horn, a fictional tale partly based on the life of early jazz trumpeter Bix Beiderbecke.
In 1961, "The Very Thought of You" was on the charts again ,in a rhythm & blues version recorded by Little Willie John, and three years later a rock and roll version by Ricky Nelson reached #19 on the Billboard chart. There have also been numerous recordings of the song by jazz and pop standards artists, including Frank Sinatra, Nat "King" Cole, Carmen McRae, Billie Holiday, and Elvis Costello; and a blues version on Albert King's Born Under a Bad Sign album. Most recently, Tony Bennett and Sir Paul McCartney recorded a duet version of the song for the former's Grammy-winning 2006 album Duets: An American Classic. An instrumental version of the song is also among the background music in the film Casablanca in the scene where Sascha kisses Rick Blaine on the cheek.
One of the more recent releases of the song was by Rod Stewart in his successful "Great American Songbook" trilogy of albums. And by Star Trek: The Next Generation's Brent Spiner from his 1991 album Ol' Yellow Eyes Is Back.
In Mitch Albom's best-selling book Tuesdays With Morrie, Mitch's wife, Janine, sings this song to Morrie Schwartz.

"Night Train" is a twelve bar blues instrumental standard first recorded by Jimmy Forrest in 1951.
"Night Train" has a long and complicated history. The piece's opening riff was first recorded in 1940 by a small group led by Duke Ellington sideman Johnny Hodges under the title "That's the Blues, Old Man". Ellington used the same riff as the opening and closing theme of a longer-form composition, "Happy-Go-Lucky Local", that was itself one of four parts of his Deep South Suite. Forrest was part of Ellington's band when it performed this composition, which has a long tenor saxophone break in the middle. After leaving Ellington, Forrest recorded "Night Train" on United Records and had a major rhythm & blues hit. While "Night Train" employs the same riff as the earlier recordings, it is used in a much earthier R&B setting. Forrest inserted his own solo over a stop-time rhythm not used in the Ellington composition. He put his own stamp on the tune, but its relation to the earlier composition is obvious.
Like Illinois Jacquet's solo on "Flying Home", Forrest's original saxophone solo on "Night Train" became a veritable part of the composition, and is usually recreated in cover versions by other performers. Buddy Morrow's trombone solo chorus from his recording of the tune is similarly incorporated into many performances.

"A Night in Tunisia" is a musical composition written by Dizzy Gillespie in 1942 while he was playing with the Earl Hines Band. It has become a Jazz standard. It is also known as "Interlude", under which title it was recorded (with lyrics) by Sarah Vaughan. Gillespie himself called the tune, "Night in Tunisia".
"A Night in Tunisia", along with "Manteca", was one of the signature pieces of Gillespie's bebop big band, and he also played it with his small groups. One of its most famous performances is Charlie Parker's recording for Dial (Dial even released a fragmentary take of it simply titled "The Famous Alto Break"); it also became closely identified with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, who often gave showstopping performances of it with extra percussion from the entire horn section.
On the album A Night at Birdland Vol. 1, Blakey introduces the piece with the (probably apocryphal) story of how he was present when Dizzy composed it "on the bottom of a garbage can." The liner notes say, "The Texas department of sanitation can take a low bow."
The complex bass line in the "A section" is notable for avoiding the standard walking bass pattern of straight quarter notes, and the use of oscillating half-step-up/half-step-down chord changes gives the song a unique, mysterious feeling. Like many of Gillespie's tunes, it features a short written introduction and a brief interlude that occurs between solo sections — in this case, a six-bar sequence that dramatically launches the soloist into an unaccompanied cadenza.
It has been covered in various styles by various artists, including Bud Powell, Stan Getz, Maynard Ferguson, Miles Davis, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Sonny Rollins, The Modern Jazz Quartet, Anthony Braxton, Stefano di Battista, Bobby McFerrin, Victor Wooten, The Turtle Island String Quartet, The Toasters and Chaka Khan incorporated the tune on her famous tribute album Echoes of an Era.

Steve Grossman (born January 18, 1951 in New York City) is a jazz saxophonist who started in jazz fusion, but is most known for hard bop.
He began with alto saxophone at eight, added soprano at 15, and by age 16 could also play tenor. His professional career began in 1969 as Wayne Shorter's replacement in Miles Davis' jazz-fusion band. In that capacity he played soprano sax on Miles's A Tribute to Jack Johnson. From 1971-1973 he was in Elvin Jones's band. In 1975 he played along with percussionist Don Alias in bassist Gene Perla's "Stone Alliance." Since the 1970s he's led his own groups including the "Steve Grossman Trio."

This song first appeared on the Miles Davis album "Kind of Blue".
Kind of Blue is a jazz album by musician Miles Davis, released August 17, 1959, on Columbia Records, in both mono and stereo, CL1355 and CS8163. Recording sessions took place at Columbia's 30th Street Studio in March and April of 1959. As of January 16, 2002, it has been certified triple platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America.
Though precise figures have been disputed, Kind of Blue has been cited as Davis' best-selling album, and as the best-selling jazz record of all time. It is also regarded by many as the greatest jazz album of all time and ranks at or near the top of many "best album" lists in disparate genres.
Kind of Blue is not only regarded as one of Davis's masterworks, but one of the most influential albums in the history of jazz. One reviewer has called it "a record generally considered as the definitive jazz album, a universally acknowledged standard of excellence."
In 1958, however, the arrival of Ornette Coleman on the jazz scene via his fall residency at the Five Spot club, consolidated by the release of his The Shape of Jazz to Come LP the same year, muted the impact of Kind of Blue, a fact that irritated Davis to no end. Though Davis and Coleman both offered alternatives to the rigid rules of bebop, Davis would never reconcile himself to Coleman's free jazz innovations, although he would incorporate musicians amenable to Coleman's ideas with his great quintet of the mid-1960s, and offer his own version of "free" playing with his jazz fusion outfits in the 1970s.
The influence of the album did build, and all of the sidemen from the album would achieve success on their own. Evans formed his influential jazz trio with bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian; "Cannonball" Adderley would front his popular bands with his brother Nat; Kelly, Chambers, and Cobb would continue as a touring unit, recording under Kelly's name as well as in support of Coltrane and Wes Montgomery, among others; Coltrane would go on to become one of the most revered and innovative jazz musicians in history. Even more than Davis, Coltrane took the modal approach and ran with it during his brief career as a leader in the 1960s, leavening his music with Coleman's ideas as the decade progressed.
Pianist Chick Corea, one of Miles' acolytes, was also struck by its majesty. He said: "It's one thing to just play a tune, or play a program of music, but it's another thing to practically create a new language of music, which is what Kind of Blue did".
One significant aspect of Kind of Blue is that the entire record, not just one track, was revolutionary. Gary Burton noted this occurrence. "It wasn't just one tune that was a breakthrough, it was the whole record. When new jazz styles come along, the first few attempts to do it are usually kind of shaky. Early Charlie Parker records were like this. But with Kind of Blue the sextet sounds like they're fully into it".
In 1997 Kind of Blue was named the thirteenth greatest album of all time in a Music of the Millennium poll conducted by HMV, Channel 4, The Guardian, and Classic FM. In 2003 the TV network VH1 placed it at number sixty-six, and Rolling Stone magazine placed it twelfth on their list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, making it the highest-ranked jazz album in the list. VH1's Ashley Kahn has devoted an entire book to the record: Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece. In 2002, it was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.
The album's influence reaches beyond jazz. Many improvisatory rock musicians of the 1960s name-checked this album, along with other Davis albums, or Coltrane's modal records like My Favorite Things or A Love Supreme. Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright has said that the chord progressions on Kind of Blue influenced the structure of the introductory chords of their song "Breathe" on the landmark 1973 album Dark Side of the Moon.
Along with The Dave Brubeck Quartet's Time Out (1959), Kind of Blue is often recommended as an introductory jazz album, for similar reasons: the music on both records is very melodic, and the relaxed quality of the songs makes the improvisation easy for listeners to follow, without sacrificing artistry or experimentation.
