Flamingo

"Flamingo" is a 1940 jazz standard composed by Ted Grouya with lyrics by Ed Anderson, celebrated for its smooth, tropical-inspired melody. While the song has been recorded by legendary artists like Duke Ellington and Earl Bostic, there is no evidence that Django Reinhardt performed or recorded it. Nevertheless, its lyrical and expressive qualities align well with the gypsy jazz tradition that Django helped define, making it a beloved piece in the broader jazz repertoire.
