Episode 145: A Tune Within A Tune (Jazz Quotes), Part 3,

This is the last episode of a tune within a tune. And I thank jazz fans from the JazzWord site for many of these ideas for bits of songs that jazz musicians put into their solos.

The quotes you’ll hear include Donna Lee, Pavane (Morton Gould), Slow Boat to China, Laura, Them There Eyes, How Long Has This Been Going On, Tea For Two, Work Song, Come Sunday, Giant Steps—-and a whole bunch more, A lot that ‘whole bunch more’ comes from Ella Fitzgerald.

And yes, you’ll hear some Ella, as well as Count Basie with Wardell Gray, Dexter Gordon, Jimmy Smith, Miles Davis, Thelonious MOnk, Ahmad Jamal, Joris Teepe Quartet, and even a hard rock group called Coney Hatch who surprise you with a quote from a well known jazz tune in their lead guitar solo.
