Distinguished Detroit-born, Denver-raised jazz singer Dianne Reeves interpreted the track with great verve in 1996 as part of a Blue Note recording artist remix programme that led to the album The New Groove: The Blue Note Remix Project Volume 1. This version used Green’s impeccable guitar work as remixed by hip-hop music collective The Ummah, which included members of A Tribe Called Quest.
Some of Reeves’ career highlights include performing at the closing ceremony of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, and winning her fourth Grammy award for her jazz soundtrack to George Clooney’s 2005 Edward R Murrow biopic, Good Night, and Good Luck.

Don’t you know it’s only me, trying to fly’
