Recordings
[edit]The song was first popularized in 1957 by Count Basie's instrumental recording for his album April in Paris. A vocalese cover of this performance was released by The Manhattan Transfer for their 1981 album Mecca for Moderns, which would eventually earn them a Grammy Award. (The vocalese lyrics are by Jon Hendricks,[2] although he is not credited on either Mecca for Moderns or Anthology: Down in Birdland.)
Harry James recorded a version on his 1976 album The King James Version.
