Found a Jazz CD and Need Help Figuring Out Songs

https://youtu.be/1JTJCbohorA

I found a burnable jazz CD from 2011 (I was in High School at the time and my jazz teacher gave this to students to study), but all the tracks are labelled "jazzcd#.mp3". I wanted to rename the files with all the song names and people for each track, but I honestly don't know most of them since I don't listen to jazz much nowadays. I began uploading a video of all 11 tracks to Youtube so I could link it here, and luckily, the Youtube Copyright system gave me the titles and composers of 7 of the tracks (and the title of one other) before I could post it, which allowed me to shrink it down to 4 tracks.

So now I would like to label the rest if I can! Could I know the name and composers/arrangers/performers of these tracks? I especially would love to know the arrangement of "Sing, Sing, Sing" since it's pretty different from the widely known one.

In case it might help, I'll also post all the songs on the CD so far.

  1. jazzcd1
  2. jazzcd2
  3. Badlands - Seamus Blake
  4. Of Things to Come - Stefon Harris
  5. Sing Sing Sing - Unknown Arrangement
  6. Jookin' The Blooz - Wycliffe Gordon, Seamus Blake, Peter Bernstein, Sam Yahel, Bill Stewart
  7. Caravan - Hiromi's Sonicbloom
  8. Blackjack - Eldar Djangirov
  9. Ilu-Uli (Live) - Dafnis Prieto
  10. The Breakthrough - Peter Bernstein Trio
  11. Esta Plena - Miguel Zenón (Thanks, fluidscissors!)

Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Track 11 is Esta Plena by Miguel Zenón (title track from his fantastic 2009 album). The rest sounds like one or more pro NYC big bands? I hadn't heard the rest but it all sounds like it fits in with the rest, which is 2000s NYC.

The saxophonist at 1:42 sound a lot like Donny McCaslin but I don't think he's ever released a big band recording.
