Hi Kevin,
Thanks for bringing that up; it has been a very busy day on the bulletin board, many good things were said about this great tune. But it was I who wrote last year in praise of the Blue Bossa played by Kenny Burrell in 1979 on the album Moon & Sand.
I made some comments about the chord structure here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftE9SMZVFjw
I have never heard another recording of this song that has a Bridge to it. Once you try it, you will never want to go back, no matter how fine the original recording - it seems Kenny Dorham only wrote half a song!
Kenny rules!
