Stan Getz "Invitation"

A standard of jazz, this is the tune "Invitation", composed by John Coltrane, and covered here, by Stan Getz.  Proof of a great jazz piece, I suppose, is that it gets interpreted in different ways by different artists for a long while after it's composed, and becomes a standard of music.  "Invitation" is one of those songs.  Among the artists who have covered it are those such as the aforementioned, Stan Getz (who's version is featured here), Quincy Jones & His Orchestra, Tom Harrell, Joe Sample, Sarah Vaughan, Lee Konitz & Hein van de Geyn, Bill Evans, The Kenny Clarke & Francy Boland Sextet, Joe Henderson, Cal Tjader, and Andy Bey.
