Mine is 'Round Midnight by Thelonious Monk!

It's crazy that the lyrics were written in the 40s. I love the instrumental versions, but I find the lyrics very timeless. Amy does it really nicely.

Big band music goes soooo damn hard. Like, this tune is just pure stank-face music. Benny Goodman is classic. I worked with an old German guy in his late 80s that would tell me stories about being in Berlin after the war and dancing to bigband music in bars.

Actually, here are the custom mix-tape covers this 87 year old made...I took these pictures in November 2017. I told him I went to jazz school and he asked me about tons of artists I knew about. We worked at a lumber yard after it closed, he swept the floor, I stocked shelves. He'd bring in a boom box and pump these tapes that he'd made, some of them that his cousin in the GDR taped from radio in the mid 50s. He would tell me that Dean Martin was named "Deano Martino" until he Anglicized his name and other cool stuff he remembered.

I can play the main theme perfectly. The B part at 1:06 and the C part at 1:50 (although Winston goes off and solos on it in his own style) are still too tough for me. This version is badass. Just faithful enough with his own interpretations.

My cousin used to be able to play it. It's part of why when our high school did a Peanuts-inspired play they forced him to play Schroeder.


Here's a few more for you:

Jazz isn't about making yourself feel better. It's about making others feel worse.
