We celebrate the birthdays of three songwriters whose tunes are used
extensively by jazz musicians: Lorentz Hart (lyrics to My Funny
Valentine, Dancing On The Ceiling, Thou Swell and many others); J. Fred
Coots (music to For All We Know, You Go To My Head) and Frank Signorelli
( music to Stairway To The Stars, I’ll Never Be The Same).
