When recording Honeysuckle Rose for the album "Ella & Basie", Ella Fitzgerald started the song in the wrong key, instantly corrected to another wrong key, and then found her spot on the third line. Supposedly, everyone loved it, and that take/session made it onto the album.

It's Jazz, there are no wrong notes. ;)

I'll rephrase — they weren't the notes she was planning 😊

But yes, fair point 👍

It's funny, thou. I played a bit back in days. And studying music theory does get kinda funky when you realize that pretty much every note goes into every scale. it's just a matter of taking it far enough.
