My tape features: on Side 1: Thelonius Monk (1947); Miles Davis & John Coltrane (1956;) Ella Fitzgerald & Count Basie Band (Montreux 1979); Charlie Bird Parker & Dizzy Gillespie (1951); Herbie Hancock & Wynton Marsalis (1982); Sarah Vaughan (Live in japan); Giants of Jazz- Art Blakey, Dizzy, Monk (1972); Mary Lou Williams (1953); Max Roach (1981) on side 2: Kenny Burrell (1980); Nancy Wilson, Chick Corea, Joe Henderson (1982); Bird & Bud Powell (1950); Betty Carter (1995); Stanley Jordan solo (1985); Dexter Gordon & Woody Shaw (1976) and a reprise of Monk (1947). I love Monk and adore this song - the moodiness, the mystery, the promise... There are many other versions we could include. I hope other listeners will recommend their own favorite versions.
