"Stolen Moments" is a jazz standard composed by Oliver Nelson. It is a sixteen-bar piece (in an eight-six-two pattern), though the solos are on a conventional minor key 12-bar blues structure. The piece first appeared as "The Stolen Moment" on the 1960 album ''Trane Whistle'' by Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, which was largely written and co-arranged by Oliver Nelson. It was not marked out as anything special, in fact the cover notes only mention that the trumpet solo is by Bob Bryant and that Eric Dolphy's bass clarinet can be heard briefly on the closing. However, in the liner notes to ''Eric Dolphy: The Complete Prestige Recordings'', Bill Kirchner states that this incorrectly credits Dolphy with playing what is actually the baritone saxophone of George Barrow, with Dolphy's contribution to the piece being the second alto behind Nelson. Its first well-known recording was the version on Nelson's own 1961 album, ''The Blues and the Abstract Truth''. Nelson's solo on this version contains "possibly the most famous" use of the augmented scale in jazz.〔Advanced: "Secrets of the symmetrical augmented scale". Josh Workman. ''Guitar Player'' 41.7 (July 2007): p108(2).〕 Singer Mark Murphy wrote lyrics for his 1978 version. Ann Fischer later wrote different lyrics to Nelson's original melody. They were first recorded on the 1987 album ''The Carmen McRae-Betty Carter Duets''. This vocal version of "Stolen Moments" was given the alternative title "You Belong to Her". ==Recordings== In 1975 Oliver Nelson used the song as the title track for an album (on Inner City Records: IC 6008). "Stolen Moments" has also been recorded by many other musicians. In 1994 the title was used for a compilation album in the Red Hot AIDS Benefit Series, which helped popularize this and other jazz standards among a wider audience.

After the trumpet solo by Walt Fowler, Zappa invites Sting to sit in with the band, and he sings a modified version of the Police song "Murder by Numbers" over the "Stolen Moments" vamp. The band finishes by returning to the Nelson melody. * 1990 by Lee Ritenour, album ''Stolen Moments'' * 1991 by Stanley Jordan, album ''Stolen Moments'' * 1991 by New York Voices, album ''Heart of Fire'' * 1994 by United Future Organization, compilation album ''Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool'' * 1996 by Jimmy Smith, album ''Angel Eyes'' * 1998 by Emilie-Claire Barlow, album ''Sings'' * 2002 by Kenny Burrell, album ''Stolen Moments'' * 2003 by Gap Mangione, album ''Stolen Moments'' * 2005 by Telefon Tel Aviv, album Remixes Compiled * 2005 by Chris Walden, album ''Home Of My Heart'' * 2008 by New York Voices, album ''Live with the WDR Big Band'' * 2009 by Brownman Electryc Trio, album ''Juggernaut'' Other artists who have recorded the piece include: Ray Brown, Caribbean Jazz Project, Betty Carter, Sonny Criss, Booker Ervin, Freddie Hubbard, Milt Jackson, J.
