Airegin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Airegin is a jazz standard composed by Sonny Rollins in 1954. It was first recorded by the Miles Davis Quintet with Rollins on saxophone, and recorded again by Miles' Quintet in 1956 on their album Cookin'. A version with lyrics appeared on the 1985 Manhattan Transfer album Vocalese.

Its name is Nigeria spelt backwards.

It is considered a challenging number due to its fast tempo and complex changes.
