^It sure is, one of my favourites. I find the track with the guitar a bit underwhelming though.

Peter Brotzmann, Masahiko Satoh, and Takeo Moriyama - Autumn Drizzle

^ Thanks Frownland, I was wondering if we´d go round the alphabet again...
^ Haha. You did well to find anything beginning with X, ribbons. As you say, it´s not breathtaking, but I thought it livened up a bit in the middle.

This clip is also on the mild side, but shows how they swing it in Russia:-

Clifford Brown - Cherokee



A question on the rules: what if the name of the tune starts with an article? For example, if I wanted to post Alan Ferber's The Compass, does that count for C or for T?

^ Welcome to MB, Mr. Cucumber - or is that Ms ?
I don´t suppose anyone is too worried about the rules; people would just go along with your decision I suspect. In fact, of your two clips, I prefered The Compass.

Sir Quality Cucumber, esq.

Thanks, I prefer to put up new stuff as opposed to standards. Gives me an opportunity to be snobby. Plus, "The Compass" is such an evocative title. It would be a shame to let such a tune go by the wayside because of a technicality.

Roland Kirk - Django

East of the Sun, West of the Moon seems to be something of a jazz standard, with versions by Oscar Peterson, Billie Holiday, Scott Hamilton among others. Here´s a more recent version:-

Pat Metheney Group - The First Circle

Takes about a minute for them to start playing this version of Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, but who would dare hurry a line up that included Mingus, Mulligan and Don Pullen?

Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters
