Nica's Dream, which is the standard of all jazz standards. Every jazz player knows and has played this tune to death. Along with Song For My Father I played this tune in jazz combos when I was a young man in the 1970s.

including a quotation by HS of "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen".

Another favorite of mine is "Bonita", but YouTube is now blocking all videos of HS playing that tune.
