I agree that asking for one song in any category is impossible to do. I am new to this and phrased my question poorly. Anyone with any kind of jazz collection can not answer the question by listing one song. I thank you for your responses, Kevin

Hi Kevine, I think it's best to have a song that you yourself really like and familiar with (or like it enough to want to get familiar with it). If you are looking for energy, you cannot go wrong with Ella. Most of her live performances are truely amazing!
