9/11 song

[starcycle]

i have a gig on saturday (9/11) and they've asked that our first song be a tribute to 9/11. my jazz quartet plays standards from the 'real books'.

any ideas????

 

[Bruce Lindfield]

I would suggest Mose Allison's :

Everybody's Cryin' Mercy but they don't know the Meaning of the Word...?

 

[Derk_Falsco]

Star Spangled Banner?

 

[elgecko]

What's Going On, Marvin Gay

 

[Bryan R. Tyler]

I'm sure you could arrange a very simple version of America The Beautiful without much work.

 

[Distant Cousin]

What's Going On, Marvin Gay

+1! Quality bassline too.

 

[MIJ-VI]

Not that it's hard to find but...

My favorite patriotic song "This Land Is Your Land" by Woody Guthrie. I'll bet it would translate to jazz beautifully.
