This episode features jazz tunes where there is some contention about who actually wrote it.

For example, I put the writer of Nature Boy, Eden Ahbez on trial. Did he plagiarize the melody of Nature Boy from Herman Yablonskoff? He did end up paying Yablonskoff 25,000 dollars. Did he have to? Or did he just do it because he wasn’t in the mood for a legal battle?

Much more clear was Jimmy Page stealing Jake Holmes “Dazed and Confused”. I play a terrific jazz interpretation of that tune that combines the Led Zeppelin and the Jake Holmes version.

I also spend a lot of time talking about some of the tunes that Miles Davis copyrighted under his own name, even though somebody else was the primary creator. But Miles Davis may have also had a tune *he* wrote credited to somebody else—and that tune is one of the most played tunes by jazz saxophonists at jazz jams.

And there’s more examples of tunes that originated from somewhere other than the person who is credited as the composer.
