Here's "Dinah", written almost 100 years ago by Harry Akst in 1925! This is Thelonius Monk's rendition, recorded in 1965 for his album "Solo Monk". It's 'stride' piano, an old jazz style that mixes big, striding left-hand jumps with an improvised right-hand melody. Stride sounds a lot like ragtime, but typical rags didn't have improvisation, so stride was an updated, transitional style.
