Listening to recordings is a crucial aspect of building up your Jazz Repertoire, which is a fancy term for the list of jazz tunes that you know.
My rollout strategy for tackling a new tune involves adding it to a playlist titled "Jazz Familiarization". This list is for tunes that I plan to play once I can hum the head of the tune all the way through.
Occasionally, this gets a bit tricky. Peace by Horace Silver is a tune in Paul Pieper's essential repertoire list for The Jazz Workshop. But searching for "Peace" in Amazon Prime Music is even worse than searching for "L.O.V.E.":
results for search term: peace
And searching for "Peace Jazz" doesn't much improve things because a lot of song titles and album titles include the word "peace".

It is in these circumstances that I find it useful to resort to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_(Horace_Silver_song)
Thankfully they have a list of versions and I was able to search for terms like "Peace Chet Baker" which makes things a lot easier!
Other versions[edit]
"Peace has regularly attracted younger musicians".[3] Silver recorded a version with vocals by Andy Bey on That Healin' Feelin' a decade after the original recording.[5]
