Jazz standards are musical compositions that are widely known, performed and recorded by jazz artists as part of the genre's musical repertoire. This list includes compositions written in the 1930s that are considered standards by at least one major fake book publication or reference work. Some of the tunes listed were already well known standards by the 1940s, while others were popularized later. Where appropriate, the years when the most influential recordings of a song were made are indicated in the list. Broadway theatre contributed some of the most popular standards of the 1930s, including George and Ira Gershwin's "Summertime" (1935), Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart's "My Funny Valentine" (1937) and Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II's "All the Things You Are" (1939). These songs still rank among the most recorded standards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top 50 most recorded standards )〕 Johnny Green's "Body and Soul" was used in a Broadway show and became a hit after Coleman Hawkins's 1939 recording. It is the most recorded jazz standard of all time. In the 1930s, swing jazz emerged as a dominant form in American music. Duke Ellington and his band members composed numerous swing era hits that have become standards: "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" (1932), "Sophisticated Lady" (1933) and "Caravan" (1936), among others. Other influential bandleaders of this period were Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway and Fletcher Henderson. Goodman's band became well-known from the radio show ''Let's Dance'' and in 1937 introduced a number of jazz standards to a wide audience in the first jazz concert performed in Carnegie Hall. ==1930== * "Body and Soul"〔Listed in ''The Real Vocal Book''.〕〔''The Real Book, Volume I'', p. 57.〕〔''The New Real Book, Volume II'', p. 29.〕〔''The New Real Book, Volume III'', p. 55.〕 is a song composed by Johnny Green with lyrics by Frank Eyton, Edward Heyman and Robert Sour. The song was used in the successful Broadway revue ''Three's a Crowd'' and became an instant hit, despite being banned from the radio for almost a year for its sexually suggestive lyrics.〔 The first jazz recording was by Louis Armstrong in 1930. Coleman Hawkins's 1939 recording consisted of three minutes of improvisation over the song's chord progression with only passing references to the melody. Hawkins's rendition was the first purely jazz recording that became a commercial hit and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1973.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Grammy Hall of Fame )〕 The song is the most recorded jazz standard of all time.〔 * "But Not for Me"〔Listed in ''The Real Jazz Book''.〕 was introduced by Ginger Rogers in the Broadway musical ''Girl Crazy''. It was composed by George Gershwin with lyrics by Ira Gershwin. The song failed to achieve significant pop success, charting only once in 1942. However, it became popular in the jazz world, especially for female vocalists. * "Confessin'"〔〔''The Real Book, Volume II'', p. 185.〕 was composed by Ellis Reynolds and Doc Daugherty, with lyrics by Al J. Neiburg. Louis Armstrong recorded it in 1930, and Rudy Vallée and Guy Lombardo both made the charts with their versions the same year. Saxophonist Lester Young recorded it several times during his career.〔 Country singer Frank Ifield had a number one hit with the song in the United Kingdom in 1963.〔 The song is also known as "I'm Confessin' (That I Love You)".〔 * "Embraceable You" was originally composed by George Gershwin for an unfinished operetta ''East to West'' in 1928. It became a big hit after Ginger Rogers introduced it in the Broadway musical ''Girl Crazy''. Lyrics were written by Ira Gershwin. Billie Holiday's 1944 recording was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2005.〔 * "Exactly Like You"〔''The Real Book, Volume III'', p. 116.〕〔''The New Real Book, Volume II'', p. 98.〕 was sung by Harry Richman and Gertrude Lawrence in Broadway show ''Lew Leslie's International Revue''. It was composed by Jimmy McHugh with lyrics by Dorothy Fields. Louis Armstrong recorded the first jazz version in 1930. Benny Goodman's 1936 recording, sung by Lionel Hampton, revived interest in the song; the following year it was recorded by Count Basie and Quintette du Hot Club de France. * "Georgia on My Mind"〔〔〔''The Real Book, Volume II'', p. 145.〕 is a song composed by Hoagy Carmichael with lyrics by Stuart Gorrell. Bix Beiderbecke played cornet on Carmichael's original 1930 recording. Frankie Trumbauer recorded the first hit version of the song in 1931. Ray Charles's version on ''The Genius Hits the Road'' (1960) was a number one hit, won two Grammy Awards and is considered to be the definitive version of the song. The song was designated as the state song of Georgia in 1979.〔 * "I Got Rhythm"〔 was composed by George Gershwin for the Broadway musical ''Girl Crazy'', with lyrics by Ira Gershwin. First-timer Ethel Merman's performance on ''Girl Crazy'' stole the limelight from leading lady Ginger Rogers. The song's chord progression has been used in countless jazz compositions, and is commonly known as "rhythm changes". George Gershwin's last concert composition, ''Variations on "I Got Rhythm"'' was based on this song. * "Love for Sale"〔 is a song from Cole Porter's Broadway musical ''The New Yorkers''. Its prostitution-themed lyrics were considered bad taste at the time, and the song was banned from the radio. The ban, however, only increased the song's popularity. Porter himself was actually pleased that it could not be sung over the air. In the original musical the song was first sung by Kathryn Crawford and later by Elizabeth Welch.〔 The song took time to catch on as a jazz standard, possibly because it was 72 measures long. When Sidney Bechet recorded it in 1947, the song was not yet a regular jazz number.〔 * "Memories of You"〔〔''The Real Book, Volume II'', p. 260.〕〔''The New Real Book, Volume II'', p. 202.〕 first appeared in the musical revue ''Blackbirds of 1930''. It was composed by Eubie Blake and lyrics were written by Andy Razaf. It was introduced by Minto Cato on Broadway and the first recording was made by Ethel Waters in 1930. Louis Armstrong's 1930 recording was Lionel Hampton's debut performance as a vibraphonist and rose to number 18 on the charts.〔 Hampton later recorded the tune again with Benny Goodman's orchestra; this version has made the song a popular clarinet number.〔 * "Mood Indigo"〔〔〔''The Real Book, Volume I'', p. 279.〕〔''The New Real Book, Volume II'', p. 214.〕 is a jazz song composed by Barney Bigard and Duke Ellington, with lyrics by Irving Mills. Bigard has admitted borrowing parts of the song from a composition called "Dreamy Blues" by his teacher Lorenzo Tio. The lyrics were written by Mitchell Parish, who then sold them to Mills's publishing company for a fixed price. When the song became a hit, Parish was therefore left without royalties. Ellington's 1930 recording was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1975.〔 * "On the Sunny Side of the Street"〔〔〔''The Real Book, Volume II'', p. 298〕〔''The Real Book, Volume III'', p. 312〕〔''The New Real Book, Volume II'', p. 277.〕 was written by composer Jimmy McHugh and lyricist Dorothy Fields for the Broadway musical ''Lew Leslie's International Revue''. Harry Richman sang it in the original revue. Although the musical was a flop, "On the Sunny Side of the Street" became instantly popular. Richman and Ted Lewis charted with it in 1930,〔 and Louis Armstrong recorded his version in 1934. The song is readily associated with Armstrong today. Tommy Dorsey and Jo Stafford both brought the song to the charts in 1945.〔 Jeremy Wilson argues that the song may actually have been composed by Fats Waller, who then sold the rights for it.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of 1930s jazz standards」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
