Favorite JAzz and blues songs...

Now for something completely different...
what are your favorite jazz and blues songs of all time?

this will be different because jazz and blues aren't as
popular as the other genres of music.

i'll list mine later...

Was listening to Nina Simone this morning, and I have to mention:

"Do I move you" and "Turn me on".

Great songs.
