The fantastic Joe Jackson and his band live at the Kaufleuten in Zürich, March 2008. If you like this why not check out the Way Past Bedtime audio podcast on http://www.gustavbertha.com
Umm . . . this version is okay, but let's not get carried away. LOTS of singers - such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Eckstine, Sarah Vaughan, Peggy Lee, Al Hibbler, Carmen McRae, Mel Torme, Tony Bennett, June Christy, Anita O'Day, Louis Armstrong - have interpreted this, as well as other "meaningful" songs by Duke Ellington.
Only the genius of Joe Jackson could interpret such a meaningful song from the Duke. Awesome catch, waypastbedtime.
