Teaching Teaching "standards" (moved from first ten standards thread)

[Colin the Bear]

I think the main thing with Miller is the arrangement and the complexity of it. Hard to replicate with a small ensemble.
The interpretation of swing seems to have shifted with swing dancing. It's more Louis Jordan than Nelson Riddle.

Thinking about swing though, you don’t tend to hear of the main Glenn Miller tunes as standards, showing up in real book or called jam sessions.

That's because everyone's STILL sick to death of them.
