Editor's Award Winner

This quiz has received an Editor's Award for excellent content. Only the most unique and well written quizzes are eligible for this award.

For this installment of "The Song Remains The Same", I have elected to cover a song originating on Broadway, "Night and Day". (An excerpt from the lyrics to assist in bringing the song to mind: "Night and day, you are the one/ Only you beneath the moon or under the sun".) I had 23 versions of the song from which to select correct answers. Like many Broadway songs, this one has become a jazz standard although, as we shall see, it has been covered by many performers associated with other musical genres. At present, based on the number of quizzes in the "Jazz" subcategory of "Music and Musicians", it appears my fellow Sploosfusers do not have much interest in (or knowledge of) jazz. Thus, I have attempted to be extra generous with the clues for the particular questions in which you are asked to identify jazz performers.

Sources: Primarily the liner notes to the albums that contain versions of "Night and Day" and listening to different renditions of the song. This is supplemented by Suskin, "Show Tunes", 3d ed. (Oxford University Press, 2000), and Wikipedia, the on-line encyclopedia.
