  • This article does not reach the 1,500-character minimum; current prose size is 1.3k. Also, the second paragraph probably needs some rewriting. Also, the non-free image is not true visual aid for the song itself, and I don't know whether using a cover art of the 2007 compilation is exceptional. --George Ho (talk) 19:13, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
  • I wonder if the article is mergable into the album Brubeck Plays Brubeck. Otherwise, I could be wrong. Look at Queens of Noise; details of songs are enough as part of the article instead of small stand-alones. --George Ho (talk) 19:19, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
Its a jazz standard, of course it meets criteria for having its own article.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 19:24, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
  • I can find no trace of this song ever having been released as a single (a cover of which might have provided the ideal article image). But I guess the use of the song title as the name for the whole album points to its increased significance as a classic in its own right. Another CD, issued in 2004 by Jamey Aebersold, with a play-along instructional book, has the same title, but a total of 13 tracks: [1]. The cover image is not quite as strong, but perhaps could be used as an alternative. Martinevans123 (talk) 23:03, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Second paragraph was copyedited by me. Article reached the 1,500-character minimum, but my copyediting decreased prose size. Prose size, nevertheless, is still over the minimum. Unsure still about the non-free image, but I hope another reviewer considers it an exception per WP:NFCC. Because some articles tended to be overbloated in order to reach the minimum requirements, I hope this article is not considered overbloated in another review. --George Ho (talk) 00:46, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
  • A sample clip of the actual melody would be nice. And mention of any recorded version with the lyric is probably essential - most, if not all, of Brubeck's own versions are instrumental. After all, it is a song, not just a tune. There are some YT versions, but links there are not too popular, are they. Martinevans123 (talk) 00:53, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Meets 5-day window, prose size is over 1500 char, interesting and reasonably complete, adequately referenced, no close paraphrasing seen, QPQ satisfied. The licensing information for the non-free image explains that it is low-resolution and for informational purposes only. Since the image is not appearing on the main page, I don't see a problem with it. I added another cite to the hook ref, since the one used was offline. Hook ref verified and good to go.
