Jazz Covers…. June 1st.

These are all covers by jazz artists, of songs that were previously performed or written by someone else. The name next to the title is the name of the original performer or composer.

‘Covers’ as a descriptive term is not always used in Jazz. Some songs are performed by many, and the original may be up to 100 years old. Some times they’re called ‘a performance of the song’, ‘an interpretation of it’, ‘rendition’, or others.
