THE STANDARDS, No. 01 — Welcome to the newest OJC series, in which we school you on jazz standards in hopes of transforming your repertoire and offering a few pieces of jazz history you may have missed in your previous studies. First up, “A NIGHT IN TUNISIA.”
• Written by trumpeter #DizzyGillespie in 1941 at Kelly’s Stables in #Manhattan, this swing-bebop standard uses syncopation, Afro-Cuban rhythms and tritone substitutions to create a mysterious feeling. The song also introduced the “non-walking bass line,” now a common stylistic addition to modern compositions.
• “A Night In Tunisia” was first recorded in 1944 with the Gillespie-Pettiford Quintet at the Onyx Club in New York City. Both #SarahVaughan and #EllaFitzgerald recorded well-known lyric versions of the track (interestingly, each with a different set of lyrics), and other notable renditions have been recorded by Art Blakey and Lee Morgan, Art Pepper, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, the Bud Powell Trio, and Sonny Rollins.
• Gillespie’s own 1946 version (recorded for RCA Victor) was added to the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2004, but more than 900 renditions have been documented over the decades — making it one of the most recognized tracks in jazz.

Craft Recordings announces the relaunch of Original Jazz Classics – the acclaimed reissue series that faithfully presented more than 850 memorable jazz albums over three decades. First launched in 1982 under Fantasy Records, the imprint served as a home for the label’s impressive jazz catalog – which had grown to include thousands of celebrated titles from Prestige, Galaxy, Milestone, Riverside, Debut, Contemporary, Jazzland, and Pablo. Fantasy also had its own place in jazz history, beginning in 1949 with its very first signing, Dave Brubeck. The Bay Area label was also home to the likes of Cal Tjader, Gerry Mulligan, and Vince Guaraldi.
This is the Official YouTube page for the Original Jazz Classics series, highlighting new reissues from the relaunched series, along with associated artists and releases from Craft Recordings.
