Very good one. (You may insert the dominant with sharp 9 but not necessary) 👍👍

Another great one. Both this one and "Papa was a rollin stone' are so amazingly inventive, as is Nilsen's 'put the lime in the coconut'.
Got a feeling James Brown got a few, Ravel's Bollero almost count as one if it wasn't for the ending. Wagner's 15 hours 'Ring cycle' isn't one, but most of us don't survive beyond the endless Eb in the beginning...


Ps. Is it Count Basie there with Frank..?

And here's one from a band usually associated with too many chords...
