As the title indicates, Jazz Signatures features a collection of classic, instantly recognizable jazz numbers by equally prominent artists. Duke Ellington's "The 'A' Train," Artie Shaw's "Begin the Beguine," Glenn Miller's "In the Mood," Louis Armstrong's "Basin Street Blues" and Dizzy Gillespie's "Night in Tunisia" are among the many important works represented here. Jazz Signatures is a welcome collection for anyone interested in jazz standards and the composers and performers behind them.
