onhwy61, thanks for the Dailey recommendation, I’ll check it out.

Great tune, Blood Count; it was one of Getz’ signature tunes. Several versions available on the Tube and all great. Getz was a beautiful player. I’m sure you’re familiar with the original Ellington version with Johnny Hodges; and the story behind the tune.  Love Elis Regina.

Ray Charles/Betty Carter
Billie Holiday/Lester Young
Louis Armstrong/Ella Fitzgerald
