Pallas Yes, Frank said laid back, and you referred to Noona's version, which I find uncomfortably jittery, nothing like Ellington's original. I also think Harry Connick Jr. does a better job of it. I think the lyrics of a song are important, and even if it's an instrumental version, the tempo and the feel should reflect the intended emotion, in this case, a fellow who is missing a lady, so heartbroken that he doesn't want to go out.
