Do any of you have any suggestions for good recordings of these two songs? My schools jazz combo is playing them and I need some "suggested listening"

Donna Lee.

Not a real video. But enjoy the effort haha.

Sing the melody and the solos before they get on your instrument. (not real singing but match the pitch rhythm, the RHYTHMS and the feeling). This really helps for getting the bop feeling in your bones rather than approximating it.

Happy listening.

As for Donna Lee of course Bird's classic recording
I also love the Pete Christlieb/Warne Marsh Version from Apogee
or The Marsh/ Konitz Recording
also Ritchie Cole/ Phil Woods
There are a ton....

Off the top of my head Frank Morgan Had a nice recording of Caravan I think it was on his Mood Indigo album
