From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Corner Pocket (song))

"Corner Pocket" is a 1955 jazz standard. Versions with lyrics are titled "Until I Met You", or "Until I Met You (Corner Pocket)".

It was composed by Freddie Green, with lyrics by Donald E. Wolf.[1]

Recordings

[edit]

The song was first popularized in 1957 by Count Basie's instrumental recording for his album April in Paris. A vocalese cover of this performance was released by The Manhattan Transfer for their 1981 album Mecca for Moderns, which would eventually earn them a Grammy Award. (The vocalese lyrics are by Jon Hendricks,[2] although he is not credited on either Mecca for Moderns or Anthology: Down in Birdland.)

Harry James recorded a version on his 1976 album The King James Version.
