8 Counts for Rita

I hope you guys like this tune, because when we get good enough I really want to do it. The best version by far is being played on Launchcast by Jimmy Smith (the composer) from his album All the Way Live. Try as I might I could not find that version anywhere. Below is a Jimmy Smith performance, but the one I really liked from Launchcast had the counting in it like the saxophone version. There is also a blues-up version by Tom something-or-other that shows an interpretation of it on guitar. I don't really agree with it, but it would give you an idea of how we might do it. Enjoy.

R.
