Hi Chas

            I was performing at Newport RI. During rehearsal the rhythm section started playing Summer Samba, or so I thought. When I commented on this they said "Oh no that's Strutting with some barbeque." So you see. Check it out. Very similar. The chart "Namely You" by the way is on one of the Abersold recordings. It's the one with strings, and I have no information other than that. It's a piss off though when your sitting in and someone calls the tune and you have to admit you don't know it. It's right up there with not knowing the bridge to Autumn in NY. Anyway Cheers as always.                             Grahame
