I really don't like Over the Rainbow so I'm glad it is uncommon. It really is in comparison to other songs jazz players fequent. I don't remember the Webster, probably have it. Probably have the Brubeck, it doesn't wring a bell. I can't remember a lick of the Getz version, which is unusual but it's because I don't like the song. I don't follow Maynard after the early 'sixties so never had that version.
Round Midnight, my Funny Valentine, sure, 'fifties and 'sixties and beyond those are well-known. Brubeck's In Your Own Sweet Way, Rollins' Oleo, Monk's Straight no Chaser, Miles' So What, etc. Also non-jazz-player-penned tunes such as many Gershwin tunes, and Love for Sale, On Green Dolphin Street, Autumn Leaves, All of You, All of Me, Body and Soul, On the Sunny Side of the Street, There Will Never be Another You, Too Close for Comfort, so many. A whole different batch of tunes for the 'thirties and forties. And many Duke Ellington tunes--Solitude, Satin Doll, Things Ain't What they Used to be, and more,Fats Waller,--Jitterbug Waltz, Honeysuckle Rose, Ain't Misbehaving etc. -- and also Jelly Roll Morton and Original Dixieland Jazz Band tracks like King Porter Stomp and Livery Stable Blues were standards for the early jazz and 'forties Traditional bands, and over the decades many tracks that Armstrong played such as West End Blues, Someday You'll be Sorry (an Armstrong composition), On the Sunny Side of the Street, Sugar, etc.
So many more!
