The top five most famous jazz songs are “So What” by Miles Davis, “My Favorite Things” by John Coltrane, “Take Five” by Dave Brubeck, “Acknowledgement” by John Coltrane, and “Birdland” by Weather Report.
So What is a song that features Davis, Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley and several other jazz greats. This collective has often been referred to as the greatest lineup in jazz history.
My Favorite Things is a song that re-interprets a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical song, which was often seen as a departure point for Coltrane.
Take Five is the first jazz instrumental single that went platinum, and is often the most recognizable jazz song of all time.
Acknowledgement was seen as the logical conclusion of his departure point after My Favorite Things. It is seen as his most transcendent work.
Birdland is the most popular single featuring jazz-bass virtuoso, Jaco Pastorious. This song also became mainstream with regards to jazz, and made Weather Report a legendary group.
