Wow…where to start? So much happened this weekend that it’s hard to sum up. I got home on Sunday and sat on my floor in a daze, trying to process the experience and convince myself that yes, it really happened, and yes, I was there to witness history in the making.

What an amazing weekend. We talked vibes all weekend, had a jam Saturday night and talked about doing this next year. This is one of the great weekends of my life!

This is a great tune that is not easy to find. I've attached a lead sheet that is pretty accurate. This is a great song to do alone or with a band. My favorite version is with Dexter Gordon on his Manhatten Symphony recording.
