This popped into my head tonight and I caught myself singing the opening lines as I was making dinner. I used to listen to this on repeat (well, okay, on rewind, as it was a cassette tape, as I recall!) after digging up a Swingle Singers tape at school. It is, of course, more well known as a guitar concerto, but I always loved this version! The Adagio, from the Concerto de Aranjuez, by Joaquin Rodrigo.

And! For a bonus! Since it’s ‘high school jazz choir memories night’ (ha!), you also get Ella Fitzgerald’s 7 minute amazing scat of ‘How High the Moon’, which I also listened to so much I broke the tape. LOVE IT. She was a complete master! (And I probably shouldn’t be listening to it right now, because it’s almost bedtime, and it winds me right up!)
