This chapter is named after a 1947 Ella Fitzgerald song, which is actually a cover of a song from a 1940 Broadway show called "Two for the Show".
After Ella's version, it went on to become a well known jazz standard. You can listen to her original version below.

So I’m imagining his solo kicking off something like this: https://youtu.be/BvAAUyDHFmg?t=8m47s. Loud and aggressive, though significantly less refined. I can see that going over like a fart in church at a casual jazz venue.

Yeesh. I would kill myself if I got humiliated like that. The worst that ever happened to me in a performance were only minor mistakes that casuals probably don't hear. This is why you should practice once or twice with the group before performing.

Music store guy did him dirty not even sending him to one rehearsal before the gig
