Who wrote Solar?




 If you said Miles Davis, think again.  One thing I've learned studying with Corey Christiansen here at IU is that Chuck Wayne actually wrote this great jazz standard.  Today I came across on this article through NPR's "A Blog Supreme."  Turns out they found an original recording of Chuck's tune (called "Sonny" before Miles took it).

Take a look for yourself
