"Easy Living",[4][136] a ballad composed by Ralph Rainger with lyrics by Leo Robin, was written for the film Easy Living and included on the soundtrack of the 1940 film Remember the Night.[137] It is most closely associated with Billie Holiday, who recorded it with Teddy Wilson's Orchestra in 1937.[138]

"A Foggy Day"[10] was written by George and Ira Gershwin for the musical film A Damsel in Distress. It was introduced in the film by Fred Astaire, whose recording rose to number three on the charts. Bob Crosby's orchestra charted with the song in 1938.[139] The song is associated with London and begins with the chimes of the Big Ben.[140] It is also called "A Foggy Day in London Town".[139]

"Have You Met Miss Jones?"[4][10][141] is a ballad from the Broadway comedy I'd Rather Be Right, introduced on stage by Joy Hodges and Austin Marshall.[142] The song was composed by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Lorenz Hart. Its bridge may have served as an inspiration to John Coltrane's 1959 composition "Giant Steps".[143] Female singers often sing it as "Have You Met Sir Jones?".[142]

"My Funny Valentine"[4][10][144] is Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart's show tune from the Broadway musical Babes in Arms. It was introduced on stage by Mitzi Green. Hal McIntyre and His Orchestra was the first to chart with the song in 1945.[145] Frank Sinatra recorded a hit version in 1955, and later the song became readily associated with his live performances. Other influential versions were recorded by Chet Baker (on My Funny Valentine, 1954) and Miles Davis (on Cookin', 1956).[145]

"Nice Work If You Can Get It[4] was written by George and Ira Gershwin for the musical film A Damsel in Distress. It was introduced in the film by Fred Astaire and has been recorded many times by jazz singers and pianists.[146]

"Once in a While"[10][147] is a composition by Michael Edwards with lyrics by Bud Green. It became a hit for Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra, whose recording stayed at the top of the charts for 14 weeks. It was later taken to the charts by Horace Heidt in 1937, Louis Armstrong in 1938, Patti Page in 1952 and doo-wop group The Chimes in 1961.[148] Rahsaan Roland Kirk is credited with reviving interest in the song among jazz musicians with his 1965 recording, which mixed the original with Middle Eastern harmony.[148][149]

"One O'Clock Jump" is an instrumental twelve-bar blues composition by Count Basie. Used as the signature piece of Basie's band, it is strongly associated with the swing era and remains one of the best-known compositions of the period.[150] Saxophonist Buster Smith wrote a part of the composition, but was denied co-credit by Basie.[151][152] "One O'Clock Jump" was taken to the charts by Harry James in 1938 and by the Metronome All-Stars in 1941. Benny Goodman gave an influential performance of it in his 1938 Carnegie Hall concert.[153]

"Some Day My Prince Will Come"[4][44][154] was written by composer Frank Churchill and lyricist Larry Morey for Walt Disney's animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The first jazz recordings were by Donald Byrd and The Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1957. Bill Evans has recorded the song several times. Miles Davis's rendition on the album Someday My Prince Will Come (1961) is notable for John Coltrane's memorable solo.[155]

"They Can't Take That Away from Me"[10] is a song from the musical film Shall We Dance, composed by George Gershwin with lyrics by Ira Gershwin. It was introduced by Fred Astaire, whose recording with the Johnny Green Orchestra stayed at number one for ten weeks. A famous version was recorded by Charlie Parker in 1950 and released on Charlie Parker with Strings.[156]
