| Song Background | |
| The Classic song “Night and Day” was written by Cole Porter in 1932 for the musical play Gay Divorce. The song has been covered by many artists over the years and is one of Cole Porters most famous compositions. Having an interesting compositional structure and chord progression it’s a great jazz standard to have a go at. I’ve listed some of my favourites recordings below. | |
