Rule #1. Post good tunes.
Rule #2. Don't post bad tunes.
Rule #3. You can comment on other people's tunes, but you still gotta post a good tune.

I'll start.

good as compositions or do you mean good as improvisations so that even the most generic blues could be considered a good tune?
Or, wathever we consider good?

Ok, this tune, Change of season  of my favorite pieces of Herbie Nichols. Too bad that he hadn't the possibility to record it but Kimbrough absolutely nails it.

A favorite (clichéd, I know...):

My dad plays this on piano from one of his many jazz standards books. When I was little (probably 8 or so) he was playing it and I read the title as "Satan Doll".
Beethoven's Op. 133 -- A fugue so bad that even Beethoven himself called it "Grosse".

Gotta love the bass solo

amazing musician. It seems that the guys of the Herbie Nichols project have discovered a can full of his compositions considered lost, and they are already playing it. I hope they will record those pieces in the next future.
Back to topic, a hard swinging gem called Early summer recorded in 1976 by the japanese pianist Ryo Fukui.

One tune that I've always adored and to me is unexplainably underappreciated is Lorraine, a piece composed by Dizzy Gillespie and dedicated to his wife.
Maybe because there's also a famous standard "Sweet lorraine" it's incredibly difficult to find informations about this pieces, and while Gillespie clearly liked his own creature (there are a lot of different renditions on his albums) I'm not aware of any other musician playing it.
