The head of this tune comes from a nursery rhyme called "Put Your Little Foot," which Miles arranged into a jazz piece and entitled it "Fran Dance," as a tribute to his then-wife, a dancer. Some might think it a bit whimsical for Miles, but an artist as spontaneous as him is capable of some pretty unexpected stuff.

Got any favorite tunes that were adapted into different genres?
