Take The A-Train

It was written for Duke Ellington and became his signature piece. But lots of other jazz musicians took a swing at it and I read that many consider Brubeck's version the best.

I'm usually inclined to agree that Brubeck is the GOAT, to use the current lingo.
Still, my personal favorite version of this song is Lionel Hampton's. I think the marimba adds an extra layer of mellow.
