The JGC History series features specifically curated playlists to help trace the lineage of some of the most influential jazz compositions of all time.

Some notes about the composition from the JGC Real Book,

Composer: Dizzy Gillespie

Year: 1942

Origin: Introduced by Sarah Vaughan in 1944 as "Interlude".

Style: A combination of straight and swing feels, typically played at brighter tempos.

Form: A-A-B-A (32 Bars) [8-8-8-8]
The A sections are played straight with the exception of the final 2 bars, while the B section is swung. This arrangement commonly used for the head only with the solo section entirely swung.

Intro: The bassline that moves from bII7 - Imi6 is usually used to begin the performance, and there is also a counter-melody that goes along with it.

Send-off: After the head in a 12 bar send-off is used to lead into the solos. This is then followed by a solo break which is commonly 4 bars long. It is typically only used the first time around, although it is sometimes used to introduce every new soloist. This section is played entirely swung.

Shout Chorus: After all the melodic soloists are finished a shout chorus is sometimes included. The shout played during the A sections while the B section is left open to the drummer. Sonny rollins offers a concise interpretation of this arrangement on his recording from A Night at the Village Vanguard.

Key: D minor

Harmony/Overview: The harmony of this composition is mainly functional. The main theme revolves around the constant arrival of bII7 - Imi, which is essentially V7alt - Imi (tri-tone substitution). The bridge is identical to that of "Alone Together", taking place in the relative Major and moving from II - V of II before a II - V - I.

Recordings: This song has been recorded over 400 times to date and is a widely popular standard. The first recording comes from Sarah Vaughan in 1944 and was originally entitled "Interlude", featuring lyrics written by Sarah Vaughan and Anita O'Day. One of the earliest instrumental recordings of Dizzy Gillespie performing the piece comes a 1945 session with Boyd Raeburn and his Orchestra. Dizzy would later record and perform this piece many times throughout his career, leaving several particularly legendary recordings behind.

This video offers a presentation of the concept of religion according to the understanding the Kôngo people had of this notion before their encounter with the Europeans.

Religion was understood as n'kisi nsi, the use of n'kisi as divine spirits to empower human beings in order to enable them to fight the evil effects of demonic spirits.

The kôngo concept of n'kisi means spirit and power. It alludes first to God, the Most High, and to holy ancestors as animating spirits and protecting power surrounding human beings. This implies that the concept of n'kisi is alike the Igbo concept of Chi and the Yoruba concept of Ase.

It is thus anomalous to reduce the meaning of n'kisi to the Western concept of fetish.

The ideas exposed in this video were taken in our book titled BUKÔNGO which can be found at

Written by jazz singer, composer, pianist and arranger Eunice Waymon (aka Nina Simone), released on the 1966 album ''Wild Is the Wind''.

My skin is black.
My arms are long
my hair is woolly
my back is strong
strong enough to take the pain
inflicted again and again
what do they call me
My name is Aunt Sarah
My name is Aunt Sarah
Aunt Sarah.

My skin is yellow.
My hair is long
between two worlds
I do belong
my father was rich and white
he forced my mother late one night
what do they call me
my name is Saffronia
my name is Saffronia.

My skin is tan.
My hair is fine
my hips invite you
my mouth like wine
whose little girl am I?
anyone who has money to buy
what do they call me
my name is Sweet Thing
my name is Sweet Thing.

My skin is brown.
My manner is tough.
I'll kill the first mother' I see.
My life has been rough.
I'm awfully bitter these days
because my parents were slaves.
What do they call me
My name is
PEACHES!
