| Song Background | |
| The classic song What Is This Thing Called Love was written by Cole Porter in 1929 for the musical Wake Up and Dream. The song has become a very popular jazz standard. Usually performed at a fast tempo, it has been recorded by artists such as Sonny Rollins, Sidney Bechet and Billie Holiday. A number of songs have been inspired and linked to the song including John Coltrane’s fifth House inspired by Tad Dameron’s “Hot House” which drew ipiration from “What is this thing called love”. I’ve included some of my favourite renditions of the song below. | |
