Bernard's  newest

If you've visited here awhile, you know that Bernard Chinn loves to compose orchestral waltzes. His newest is Juilet, which he submitted on Thursday around lunch time in England where he resides, 3:40AM where the SongTrellis server and I domicile.

Newest in The Changes

Currently 764 tunes are listed. Seems like there's no end to the great stuff we're still missing. We've got a good representation of the jazz and standard tunes. Nevertheless if you look at the composer listings on the right border of  The Changes page, you'll see that we have five or fewer tunes listed for some very prolific composers. Wayne Shorter, Thelonious Monk and Richard Rodgers are best represented, and we're nowhere close to being comprehensive with them. We still have only the barest dusting of rock and classical progressions listed. It's clear that thousands more deserve to be listed.

 Anyway, I'm very happy to have found some good ones for this week's batch:

• Billy Strayhorn's Rain Check and Upper Manhattan Medical Group (a.k.a. U.M.M.G.)
• Charles Mingus' Pithecanthropus Erectus and Orange Was The Color Of Her Dress - Then Silk Blue
• Sam Jones' Unit 7
• Wayne Shorter's El Toro
• Jerome Kern's Nobody Else But Me
• Joe Henderson's Granted
• McCoy Tyner's Three Flowers
• Count Basie, Mack David, and Jerry Livingston's  Blue And Sentimental
• Dave Franklin and Cliff Friend's When My Dreamboat Comes Home
• Albert Parker and Hugh Charles' We'll Meet Gain
• The New Orleans traditional song When The Saints Go Marching In
• Ahlert And Turk's Walkin' My Baby Back Home
• Jerry Livingston's Under A Blanket Of Blue
• Ted Snyder's The Sheik Of Araby
• Pinkard, Tracey and Tauber's Them There Eyes
• Lionel Hampton and Benny Goodman's Flying Home
• Ray Henderson's Five Foot Two, Eyes Of Blue
• Harry Akst's Dinah
