These
well-loved tunes have
been around for a long
time. Perhaps the oldest
is Nobody Knows the
Trouble I've Seen, a
Negro spiritual that may
have been written by
slaves. Others come from
the latter half of the
19th century and from the
turn-of-the-century era
that produced the
precursors of jazz. The
unifying factor in
selecting these
particular tunes, apart
from the fact that every
American seems to know
them, is that they have
been constantly recreated
by jazz performers, from
the birth of jazz to the
present day. There is an
immediate link from the
improvisor to the mood,
structure, or chord
structure (sometimes all
three!) of these tunes
that allows for a
free-flowing personal
variation on these
timeless themes.
