From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Donna Lee is a bebop jazz standard based on chords from the dixieland standard "(Home Again in) Indiana".
While officially credited to saxophonist Charlie Parker, Miles Davis always maintained that he composed the tune, and indeed the scholarly consensus is that he did. Taking credit for other people's compositions was far from a rare occurrence in the jazz world; indeed, Davis later became wrongly credited for writing the standards "Four" and "Tune Up" (written by Eddie Vinson) as well as "Blue In Green" from his album Kind Of Blue (written by Bill Evans).
One of the most famous "Donna Lee" interpretations is the solo fretless electric bass rendition by virtuoso jazz bassist Jaco Pastorius (also featuring Don Alias in conga drums) on his self-titled debut album.
