Nardis is the most hip jazz standard and is also super hip

CORRECTIONS: The intro to the Mike Stern recording is NOT in 7/4, it's just got some weird rhythmic groupings and I never updated my teenage error. I apologise for being dumb.

Nardis is one of the dopest jazz standards around, and it's way cooler than you. Bill Evans and Miles Davis are cooler than you. MF Doom and Kendrick Lamar are cooler than you. Terrace Martin and Thundercat are cooler than you.

Don't worry though, they're cooler than me too. You're almost certainly cooler than me too. You can also get cooler by listening to it. I hope this video gets you there.

I'm Tim Beau Bennett, and I'm making videos about jazz history. Sometimes I talk about jazz musicians, sometimes the songs, and sometimes about genres. I play jazz guitar, though I would call myself a keen amateur, rather than a professional. These videos are a work in progress, but there are many more to come - so please subscribe and let me know what you'd like to see in the comments!
