Absolutely the primary reason, at age 10, I decided to play jazz.
Wonderful song, which can be "knocked out of the park" with varying interpretations. My favorite is the one by Kenny Rankin.i play it every night I work.

Like Chas, I was never really blown away by anything Sting ever did....well, the claim to have tantric sex (8 or more straight hours...whew!)is petty impressive. Even his bass playing has always sounded uninspired, to me.

Suffice it to say, he has used his status to be an ardent supporter of jazz. That's a good thing.
