... have little to do with each other beyond their status as classics. Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Sarah Vaughn, Louie Armstrong, Django Reinhardt, Ramsey Lewis, Ella Fitzgerald, Charlie Parker, Billie Holliday, and many more -- these are the inhabitants of jazz's Mount Olympus, and these songs are their ...
