What makes a song a standard? How does a tune enter the commonly shared repertoire that jazz musicians have been expected to know at any moment? Tonight, we spin a variety of well-worn standards for your listening pleasure. Sonny Rollins once said, "Jazz and standards are forever locked in loving embrace." Some commentary in this episode is inspired by Ted Gioia's Book, The Jazz Standards, A Guide to the Repertoire.Playlist
