Can anybody confirm if this exists? A web search reveals that Deodato did a jazz version of the Ravel Pavane pour une Infante Defunte, but I can't find any mention of a jazz standard called "Pavane".

The article says it is a 16th century dance, which is perfectly consistent with it first appearing in 1508. It does, however, also say that it bears a certain resemblance to the basse danse, which was popular in the 15th century. I think this must be the source of your confusion.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 16:27, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Jerome, I feel very small questioning Alan Brown's research, but does he really give such a precise date for the appearance of the pavane? I mean (at the risk of being weaselly) wouldn't it be better to write ",,,around 1508", or "... first documented in 1508"? Nick Michael (talk) 08:10, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Joan Ambrosio Dalza's Intabolatura de lauto libro quarto, which Brown cites as containing the earliest extant example, was published in Venice by Petrucci in 1508 (not "around" 1508). It might be more accurate to specify that this is merely the earliest example known to exist, since that is what Brown actually says—not that Dalza actually invented the dance in that year, all by himself.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 16:47, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
A perfect example of the arrogance of musicians, thinking that dance music exists independent of choreography! My fault, I see, and I have now corrected it.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 02:09, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
