Take 5 - Part 3 of Body and Soul.

Today is the third, and for now final, Take 5 devoted to performances of Body and Soul. Our first installment had renditions that preceded Coleman Hawkins' classic recording. last week we started with on Hawkins and then included four other tenor saxophone recordings. This week, I present five other recordings of this standard.

First up we have Billie Holiday from 1940.

Next up is Bud Powell

Hank Jones is another piano master who has recorded it.

Ella  Fitzgerald performed it on a legendary Frank Sinatra TV show.

Finally, we close with Chet Baker.
