Joe Pass did a funky jazz version of this tune. I'm not sure what key he plays it in but I moved it to G and play it with a similar feel. The original Django version is cool, but too dull imo for gigging. It's a long shot but does anyone have a lead sheet in G? I think the Django realbook is in F.

Just to say this is one of the rare occasions when cover is much better than the original. With that Latin groove, Joe turned it from a slightly odd, ugly duckling into a graceful swan.
There is a free transcription of the entire For Django album by Joe Pass on the below website. It shows Fleur d’Ennui in the key of F#.
