Rockin in Rhythm - Duke Ellington
A band based in Melbourne called the Hoodangers used to do a cover of it. I went and researched the original and it sent me down the jazz rabbit hole.
This morning they were playing some old classic jazz in the coffee shop where I had breakfast- Take Five, In The Mood, and Frank Sinatra with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. My 20 something daughter knows more about jazz than me, but I do like it.

Its an acquired taste. Usually a lot of musicians get into it as they might appreciate the skills a bit more.
