Blue Bossa.

Blue Bossa is a Jazz Standard composed by Kenny Dorham, and appeared on many albums ever 
(First appeared on a Joe Henderson album).
I've been asked to provide a site proving he isn't some artist I've just made up, so:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Dorham

This was done with some help by me, but most of it had been done by a friend of mine, 
asked me to submit it for him (he has no account.
It is very accurate, spot-on I think.
Rate it, and Jazz-on!
