Eli meant to behave but there were way too many options.

Eli Rabett, a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny who finally handed in the keys and retired from his wanna be research university. The students continue to be naive but great people and the administrators continue to vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional without Eli's help. Eli notices from recent political developments that this behavior is not limited to administrators. His colleagues retain their curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they, or at least some of them occasionally heeded his pointing out the implications of the various enthusiasms that rattle around the department and school. Ms. Rabett is thankful that Prof. Rabett occasionally heeds her pointing out that he is nuts.

I pick the Benny Goodman sext with Peggy.
passing opinion on good music always reveals more about the critic than the music, but...
The Lena Horne is a little too 'commercial'; that is the strengths of the song (and singer) have been toned down to confirm to the then taste and style of popular ballads.
The Dana Krall has a wonderfully clever string arrangement, all Debussy/Ravel unresolved discords, but I find that and the piano solo detract rather than add to the simple strangeness on the melody.
The minimalism of the Benny/Peggy version appeals most. The strength of this song is the way in which a rising melodic line is still minor and melancholic, the clarinet, and Peggy's wonderful tone and phrasing do the most to highlight that with just enough from the accompaniment to give them a foundation to rest on.
