An audio recording of "One Note Samba," composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim (1927-1994) with Portuguese lyrics by Newton Mendon, and performed by the John Whitney Trio live on-air on WUCF-FM on January 4, 2000. John Whitney served as director of both orchestral studies and the University of Central Florida Jazz Lab band during his 20 years with the university. Whitney also led the UCF Jazz Lab band in invited performances at Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland and North Sea Jazz Festival in Holland. He established himself as a conductor, performer, composer, arranger, and teacher in both classical and jazz arenas, founding and directing the Southern Tier Symphony in Allegany, New York, in 2003, until his death in 2014. "One Note Samba" is a jazz standard in a bossa nova rhythm, which was made popular on the 1963 Grammy-winning, number one album, Jazz Samba. It has been recorded by numerous artists, including Quincy Jones (b. 1933), Frank Sinatra (1915-1998), Barbra Streisand (b. 1942), and Ella Fitzgerald (1917-1996).
