From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Tempus Fugue-it" (also known as "Tempus Fugit" ) is a 1949 jazz composition by jazz pianist Bud Powell . It has been recorded by Powell, Miles Davis [ 1] [citation needed
Not actually a fugue, its title is a pun on the Latin phrase tempus fugit , meaning "time flies", a reflection of the speed at which it is played.
