I know. Trust me, I know.
But it tickles my monkey brain.
The thing about jazz is that it's interpretation. You have a number like St Louis Blues and you are permitted to mess around with it and there's no shame because it's there for everyone to mess around with. Here's Brubeck's version anyway and his band are top types for sure. I listen to them all the time.
Could just as easily be posted in the fit birds thread.
