Another very unique arrangement is Kaestli's funkified version of My Funny Valentine, which features the Til Brooner-ish muted trumpet obbligato of Kenny Rampton and the organ of Ben Stivers. But the most unusual of all is the Jazz version of Dido's Lament (When I am Laid in Earth) from Henry Purcell's opera Dido and Aeneas, a work that Was composed in the last decade of the 17th Century. This aria is in the form of a chaconne, which features a repeating bass pattern. It Was a topos of 17th Century operatic practices that in a lament, this bass pattern would typically be a descending fourth by half steps. And as the Swingle Singers showed us in the 1950s and 1960s, baroque Music can be extremely adaptable to Jazz.
