First Jazz Song ?

Something tells me that the song "Idhu Oru Nila" (from the movie Tic Tic Tic), seems to be the first ever attempt by any Indian music director to compose a jazz based song. You can check out the song Here. Of course, the song was composed by Illayaraja (Who else?). The movie was released in the year 1981. If you know of any jazz based song that was released prior to this, please do post a comment.

    no ba. The more i listen to the links you gave, i get a feeling that it does not have the pure jazz overtones. It could possibly be due to the fact that msv had to work with a restricted set of instruments when compared to the king.
