Great apes make for great tunes

His kind may be better known for primal calls than soft jazz, but one orangutan at Adelaide Zoo has composed a song proving he can make a piano sing.

The zoo has released a single made by orangutan Kluet, with help from his keeper and a phone app that lets users play a range of musical instruments.

The jazz-like tune, Give me a Klue, is being sold on the zoo's website to mark World Orangutan Day and raise money for their three sumatran orangutans.
