"Have You Met Miss Jones?" is a popular jazz standard composed by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Lorenz Hart. It was originally written for the 1937 musical comedy "I'd Rather Be Right", where it was performed by characters Peggy Jones and Phil Barker. The song was first recorded by Joe Rines and His Orchestra, featuring vocalist Lee Sullivan, in the same year. The song's enduring popularity, however, stems from its appeal to jazz musicians. Its bridge section shares a harmonic progression with John Coltrane's iconic "Giant Steps", making it a popular choice for jazz interpretations and improvisations. Notable musicians who have recorded their own versions of "Have You Met Miss Jones?" include Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Stan Getz, and Art Tatum, among many others. The song remains a staple of jazz repertoire and continues to be enjoyed by musicians and audiences alike.
