Re: Greatest Pop / Jazz Standards - Recommendations
I know hundreds of these tunes and here are my personal favorites:
stardust (note sinatra's version contains only the verse)
the nearness of you
they can't take that away from me
but beautiful
while we're young
I'll be seeing you
al, I really highly recommend tony bennett on the album "tony bennett and bill evans". also, ella fitzgerald has a songbook series (i.e. the cole porter songbook, kern songbook, etc) which is fairly comprehensive and a very good overview.
edit: another highly recommended record is willie nelson's "stardust".
