Cool

While Flip Phillips and Howard McGhee were members of Jazz at the Philharmonic in the late 40's they recorded 4 sides for Norman Granz with their "Boptet". Two of the tunes were boppish blues numbers penned by Howard McGhee.

I've included Maggie's solo with "Cool".

Mister Walker

Wes Montgomery's "Mister Walker" is a real catchy tune with a great latin-ish groove. We used it at Shoreline Community College with Ian Hughes on guitar and his brother Dylan on bass.

The record fades at the end of the song, so I tacked on a cheesy ending. You'd probably be better off ending on a I chord.
