Night and Day Jazz Backing Track – This is one of the standards that should be part of any jazz musician’s repertoire.

“Night and Day” is a song composed in 1932 by Cole Porter. As soon as it was released, this song became a huge success. This is perhaps Porter’s most successful song.

This song has been performed by great names such as Frank Sinatra, Tommy Dorsey, Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dionne Warwick, Anita O’Day, Art Tatum, Roy Eldridge, Joe Henderson, McCoy Tyner, Diana Krall, Stan Getz, Willie Nelson, Charlie Parker, Kenny Garrett, Dave Brubeck, Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, Michel Petrucciani, Django Reinhardt, Keith Jarrett, Erroll Garner, Chick Corea, George Van Eps, Howard Alden and many others.

This song has a very unusual structure compared to other songs from the 1930s. While the songs were composed in the AABA form with 32 bars, “Night and Day” is presented in the ABABCB form with 48 bars.

Its harmonic structure is also unusual, with cadences that resolve in unexpected ways and some inconclusive chords. Therefore, it is very important that the musician study each part of this song thoroughly, mapping out these adverse points before starting to improvise.

This backing track consists of drums, double bass and piano. The tempo is 150bpm.
