I'm not sure if I have ever heard it.

If anyone has the lead sheet, would you be so kind as to e-mail it to

Hi Bob et al,

It's a Buck Clayton 12-bar in 5 flats concert from Buck's great LP "Songs fro Swingers" from the early 1960s, which I've never seen re-issued on CD. I can'y understand why not, as it won polls in jazz magazines all round the world when it first came out. Anyway, I've got a lead sheet on it and will send it on to the link provided (and anyone else who wants a copy). It's one that my band, the Classic Jazz Orchestra, has in its repertoire as a straight-ahead blower - no fancy chart, just a good up-tempo (mainstream, not Dixie) blues to jam on.

Cheers,

Ken Mathieson,
