Sorry I'm late -- and happy new year, all you good jazz-guitar people!
Our standard for Jan 2020 will be Perdido (Juan Tizol, Ervin Drake, and Hans Jan Lengsfelder, 1942).
Background:
Jazz Standards Songs and Instrumentals (Perdido)

That's a crowd pleaser. Even when I play it for young audiences it generates an enthusiastic response.
Good choice. (Sorry to interfere with lessons.)

That's a terrific choice!

Bonus points for screen names matching the monthly song selection, Perdido!
-
For those who don't speak Spanish, "perdido" translates as "I'm lost." Which often is how I feel when playing jazz. Hence my user name. Great tune, though!

Juan Tizol may have written the best melody over "rhythm changes" since I've Got Rhythm.
-
Oh, I forgot the Tune of the Month...
-
How is Perdido, at letter A, Rhythm Changes?
-
It's not. The bridge is the rhythm changes bridge. (But you knew that.)

Haven't done this in a while, and I can't let Ragman get all the glory. Kinda of a pop sounding backing track. Was a fun song I didn't know.

Well played, Sir!
I'm four months late, but never mind
