A big thank you to Mascio for asking me to pick this month's tune. I am very honored to have this opportunity, and I hope you all have fun with this and enjoy this tune as much as I do!
I believe this is one standard every jazz musician should know, as it's not only a wonderful song, but also a great vehicle for both improvisation and theory. There have been thousands of recordings of this tune, so just go to YouTube/Grooveshark/your local (gasp!) record store to find some! Here are a couple of my favorites:
Bird:
Ella:
Chris Potter:
Dick Oatts:

Here's a link with charts in C, Bb, and Eb:

And here are 3 backing tracks- slow, medium, and "fast" (not really that fast):

*None of these backing tracks have the intro, which is: ||: Db7#9 | Db7#9 | C7#9 | C7#9 :||
Here's a link to Jamey Aebersold backing tracks from Grooveshark:

There's even a 12-key track there for those of you who are more adventurous!
I guess since it's the first post I should throw my hat into the ring right away. This is the only recording I have of me playing this tune but I'm gigging with my quartet the next 2 nights so I'll try to get a decent recording.
I hope to hear lots of great recordings this month!
