Who has the hippest Muzak?

[Don Higdon]

My nominee is "Legal Seafood", a restaurant chain in the northeast.
This place is in a shopping mall, of all places, as in Nordstom's, Victoria's Secret, Nieman Marcus, Borders, Gap, et al.
Met the Mrs. for lunch, sat down listening to 50's Jackie McLean, PC, Philly Joe, Mal Waldron. Next up was Billie Holiday, then several bop quintet cuts with guys like Johnny Griffin. Milt Jackson funking 'Battle Hymn of the Republic' (with OP?), Anita O'Day. The most commercial side was Tony Bennet with a jazz trio. As we were leaving, In Walked Bud with Monk in a quintet (tenor and alto).
I never thought I'd see the day.
Any other nominees?

Maybe the Royal Park Shiodome Hotel in Tokyo. I was there for about a week last year, and they were playing a song list almost identical to what you described. I didn't want to leave the elevators!

I once heard Tale of the Fingers in the Cherry Hill Mall foodcourt.

I heard Blue Train (the original Coltrane version) in Panera Bread once.

[Will Yager]

Panera is usually pretty good
