The nice thing about jazz is that you can interpret a tune any way you want. Purists might object but that's too bad, the tune is not their possession.

Chord melody problem

By the way, the chord diagram at the end of that vid is misleading, it seems to done a mirror thing on itself. Should look like this:

Can you call the music for J.Bond movies a genre?
