There you go.
It's not a jazz tune, of course. It's sort of meditative, new age, etc.

Almost all standards are moving a lot more even if they are only in one key, and traditionally you'd want to follow the movement if you play straight ahead jazz. In that way a song that goes | Cmaj7 Am7 | Dm7 G7 | is not modal since it is moving from tonic to dominant and back.
So in this way almost no standards are modal, an dmost modal tunes have more than one mode involved.
