Just For The Record

Linda Cable

London-born Linda Cable built her singing career in Australia, moving from blues into a distinctive jazz style. She is known for a strong, clear voice on up-tempo numbers, moody ballads and her own songs.

Harold Arlen

Harold Arlen (1905–1986) was an American composer of popular song whose work sits at the heart of the Great American Songbook. He wrote the complete score for the film The Wizard of Oz, including Over the Rainbow.

Johnny Burke

Johnny Burke wrote the words to some of the most durable standards in the Great American Songbook, including Like Someone in Love, It Could Happen to You and Misty, songs that still sit at the heart of jazz and popular singing.

Duke Ellington

Duke Ellington wrote jazz that slips past easy labels: three-minute standards thick with colour, growl and hush, and longer suites built for the voices of a big band. His orchestra was the instrument; the songs still own the night.

Lorenz Hart

Lorenz Hart's lyrics for Rodgers and Hart still sit at the heart of the jazz and cabaret songbook: witty, conversational, and edged with a rueful tenderness that singers and players keep returning to.

Jimmy Van Heusen

Jimmy Van Heusen wrote the melodies that still sit at the centre of the jazz and popular songbook: film and stage standards built for crooners, bands and late-night rooms, from Darn That Dream to Come Fly with Me.

John Lennon

John Lennon's songs cut through styles and decades with plainspoken hooks and melodies that refuse to age. From Beatles classics to the solo anthem Imagine, his writing keeps finding new voices in jazz rooms, a cappella circles and the concert hall.

Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney's songs travel far beyond their rock origins. Melodic, singable and built for reinvention, they turn up here in jazz sets, a cappella harmony, intimate guitar ballads and even harpsichord with drums and bass.

Johnny Mercer

Johnny Mercer's lyrics still define how jazz singers tell a story: conversational, witty and shot through with Southern colour, from torch laments to swing anthems and Hollywood standards that refuse to age.

Richard Rodgers

Stephen Sondheim

Vincent Youmans

Grant Clark

Edward Eliscu

Frank Eyton

Marvin Fisher

Erroll Garner

Erroll Garner's ballad Misty has become one of the most durable jazz standards, its long singing line and easy harmonic lift still inviting singers and instrumentalists. As a pianist he was known for swing, whimsical introductions and a right hand that floated just behind the beat.

John Green

Edward Heyman
