Common song played in multiple styles??

[Fractal]

I have an assignment to transcribe a song that has been done in multiple eras/multiple jazz genres. Obviously all the standards are being played all the time. ie, a recording of a standard that is a great example of "swing era" and then a different recording of the same song that is a great example of how it was played in a more boppish manner? Any genres will do latin etc. I'll be transcribing the bass if that makes a difference. Also, if it is on youtube that would make my life easier in terms of getting my hands on a copy. Thanks!

I would just pick the name of a standard like "Autumn Leaves" and search for it on youtube. You can add words like "gypsy," "swing," "bossa," "funk," "fusion," etc. You could even go back to some Dixie tune to try and find something that goes back further.

Peace,

Bluesette is a 3/4 jazz swing tune.

Tito Puente does it as a 4/4 mambo.

Two very different takes on the same tune

"Summertime" has been done many different ways 'down through the ages.' From Jolson to Joplin! (Actually, I don't know if Jolson ever sang it, but "from Jolson to Joplin" was too cool a phrase to pass up.)
