It was on this day in 1951 that Alice in Wonderland was released to theatres for the world to enjoy!
The title track which was written by Bob Hilliard and Sammy Fain and was performed by the Jud Conlon Chorus, was recorded a few years later by jazz musician DAVE BRUBECK and his quartet in 1957.
This version is a bit different than the Bill Evans version I posted before. While Brubeck keeps the time signature in 4/4 as per the original, he give the melody more of a triplet feel. The Evans version adapts this feel to 6/8, which has become a well recognized way of playing the song by jazz musicians over the years.

I like an instrumental piece that I can get lost into, and this is certainly one of them.
At times I forget what they are covering and just enjoy it for what it is, which, in my books, makes a great cover.
Thanks for celebrating this Disney film with some jazz.
