how many people think that "A night in Tunisia", by Charlie Parker is one of the greatest jazz pieces period.

Question

the version I'm talking about includes Dizzy Gilespi, Art Tatum

Answer 1

Yeah, that song is amazing. It couldn't be improved more than it is. My first favorite version that I can think of is Blakey and the Jazz Messengers.

I heard a historian say that that song was written on the bottom of a flipped over garbage can in an alleyway outside a club.

Another song that is amazing to me is Orange Was the Color of Her Dress Then Blue Silk, by Mingus.
