Five examples to get started. In each of these examples, the artist did record the song elsewhere, as a leader or sideman.

Sonny Rollins: What’s New

Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention: Absolutely Free

Grant Green: Grant’s First Stand

Butch Warren: Butch’s Blues

Buddy DeFranco: Sweet And Lovely

Bertrand.

Lou Donaldson Lush Life.

It is an interesting question as to why Blue Note decided to change the name of that album (Sweet Slumber) to Lush Life.

Sonny Criss - Mr. Blues Pour Flirter. The song "Blues Pour Flirter" was released separate from the album.

Lush Life was the title assigned to the "unissued" album. When the session was finally released in Japan it was called Sweet Slumber. Later Cuscuna discovered a number of cover designs for unissued sessions and released them in the US - Lush Life was one of these.

One more title on topic is Dizzy Reece Star Bright, though the spelling is different.

I was extremely annoyed that Pi issued a CD titled "Non-Cognitive Aspects of the City" by the Art Ensemble of Chicago. It's bad enough that that CD doesn't include the title work - someone at Pi told me that they didn't know about the existence of the great Jarman / Delmark performance of the poem "Non-Cognitive Aspects of the City" (Nessa's second recording for Delmark). What was worse about Pi's blunder is that, just a couple years later, Roscoe Mitchell's beautiful orchestra-+-baritone setting of Jarman's poem - the real thing - appeared on the Abrams-Mitchell CD "Spectrum" (Mutable Music). Anybody confused yet?
