THE BOOK: The Most Amazing, Colossal, Ultimate Selection of the Best Songs Ever Assembled in a Real Legal Fake Book. I think it was published in the late 80s; I picked it up at Powell's in Portland, OR in the early 90s.

I was practicing this tune for the first time, and discovered the standard jazz 1350 version had a few problems with the first and second endings for the A section, and the chords didn't seem to fit the melody too well. I...
Sher Music version (as played by Joe Henderson) with intro and vamp outro. Chords similar to mallorquinensys' version below.
Blue Bossa - SM - Kenny Dorham
Sher music version (based on G. Benson’s recording from his “Breezin’” LP).
The existing version is not working properly; it goes to the guitar solo (Bm riff) section at odd moments.
Affirmation - SM - José Feliciano
I noticed a couple of minor errors on the Hank Williams version of this tune I submitted a while back. Here it is cleaned up with a new title to avoid confusion and in the proper key (F).
Lovesick Blues - Hank Williams' version - Cliff Friend-Irving Mills
My dear departed mom always loved this tune, so I worked up a chart for it.

Les Bicyclettes De Belsize - Barry Mason, Leslie Reed
