Sarah Vaughan & Her All-Stars
Interlude
Night In Tunisia
Continental Label Records 1944
- Night in Tunisia is a musical composition written by Dizzy Gillespie in 1942 while he was playing with the Earl Hines Band
Night in Tunisia is a Jazz standard
It is also known as "Interlude", under which title it was recorded (with lyrics) by Sarah Vaughan and Anita O'Day.
Gillespie himself called the tune Night in Tunisia
Although the song is sometimes titled "A Night in Tunisia", the proper title is Night in Tunisia
- The complex bass line in the "A section" is notable for avoiding the standard walking bass pattern of straight quarter notes, and the use of oscillating half-step-up/half-step-down chord changes gives the song a unique, mysterious feeling
Like many of Gillespie's tunes, it features a short written introduction and a brief interlude that occurs between solo sections — in this case, a twelve-bar sequence leading into a four-bar break for the next soloist.

Interlude
Lyrics
I lived in a dream for a moment
We'd loved in a midnight solitude
But I never knew at the moment
Love was just an interlude
I thrill as your arms would enfold me
A kiss of surrender says the mood
Then heaven fell down when you told me
Love's a passing interlude
The magic was unsurpassed
Too good to last
The magic my heart once knew
Is dressed in blue
The shadow of night all around me
I walk in a moonlight solitude
When I thought romance really found me
Love was just an interlude
The shadow of night all around me
I walk in a moonlight solitude
When I thought romance really found me
Love was just an interlude
