"Perdido" is a jazz standard composed by Juan Tizol and was first recorded on December 3, 1941 by Duke Ellington. However, it is their January 21, 1942, recording of the song on the Victor label, that is regarded as their original recording.〔"Perdido" at JazzStandards.com http://www.jazzstandards.com/compositions-0/perdido.htm〕 In 1944, Ervin Drake and Hans Lengsfelder were enlisted to write lyrics for the tune. The song was not usually sung with the Ellington band, the exception being Ella Fitzgerald on her 1957 album ''Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Duke Ellington Songbook''. Later, many others recorded the song, including Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Art Tatum, Quincy Jones, the Charlie Parker Quintet, Dave Brubeck, Charles Mingus, Erroll Garner, Bill Doggett, Harry James,and "Verden Rundt's" All Star Band. The melody can be heard in Woody Allen's ''Another Woman'' from 1988. "Perdido" is Spanish and simply means ''lost'', but also sloppy or indecent.〔H. J. Schaal ''Jazz-Standards.'' p. 395〕 The song refers to Perdido Street in New Orleans.〔Basilio Serrano (Juan Tizol: His talents, his collaborators, his legacy ) Centro Journal 18(2): 83-99 (2006)〕 ==External links== *("Perdido" at JazzStandards.com ) *(Standards Throwdown!
