A recording of this jazz standard begins with Sam Jones playing the bass ostinato “quarter note G, straight eighths B-flat – D, quarter notes E – D” before Miles Davis plays the melody in a rare appearance as sideman. A 1956 film with the same title was inspired by a recording of this standard on Nat King Cole Sings for Two in Love. This standard’s A section consists of a circle of fifths progression beginning on the minor four. Although the Real Book renders it in (*) E minor, this standard begins with the notes “G, A, B-flat, long E-flat” in the more common key of G minor, as on Cannonball Adderley’s Somethin’ Else. Joseph Kosma and Jacques Prévert wrote this originally French-language standard. For 10 points, name this standard about “red and gold” objects that “drift by the window” during the title season. ■END■
