Kaper's score for Lili contains the song "Hi-Lili Hi-Lili Hi-Lo." I don't know if it qualifies as a standard--but I bet a lot of people (at least people of a certain age) would recognize it. It starts at about 53 seconds.

An obit I read this morning mentions a documentary about Creed Taylor that will be coming out, financed partially by Herb Alpert. I'm excited about this. I loved so many of his records; and I say "his" because it seemed a record with his signature on it was always as much a Creed Taylor record as it was a work by the particular artist. I always hungered to know more about him than it was possible for a mere record-buying jazz fan to know.

Just curious why you say that. I've never read him, and wasn't even aware of him until reading his obituary this morning, but his basic tenets as I understand them--that no music can be reduced simply to the notes, and that making music speak to the audience for whom it is played is more important than recreating the music as it would have been performed for the audience of its time ("historically informed performance")--are sound enough.
