Frank Sinatra recorded "I Fall in Love Too Easily" for
Columbia on 1 December 1944 in
New York, arranged by
Axel Stordahl. A cover by the English singer
Steve Conway was issued by British
Columbia in 1946. The song has become an often-played
jazz standard. It has been recorded by
Eugenie Baird with
Mel Tormé and the
Mel-Tones,
Chet Baker,
Ray Conniff,
Royce Campbell,
Johnny Hartman,
Keith Jarrett,
Shirley Horn,
Ralph Towner,
Tony Bennett,
Anita O'Day,
Diane Schuur,
Fred Hersch and
Katharine Mcphee, among others.
Melody Gardot included the song in her 2020 album
Sunset in the Blue.
Miles Davis first recorded the song for
Seven Steps to Heaven and it became part of the repertoire of his 1960s quintets with
Herbie Hancock and later
Chick Corea. In concert, Davis and Corea's duet evolved into an introduction to
Wayne Shorter's "
Sanctuary": an improvisation derived (and abstracted) from the song provides an introduction and interlude to Shorter's composition on the album
Bitches Brew, released in 1970. == References ==
