This tune, written by Bird, is based on the famous standard How High The Moon. I chose this version as an example of how well versed contemporary jazz artists are, in the bebop language. It is cool how Brad Mehldau quotes Four (the next tune in the bebop playlist) at 2:07. Students get inspired to learn the bebop repertoire when they hear these giants blow on this tune.
