I said I really liked this song that Buco wrote and I posted the chart on the earlier comment quoted above. Looks like Buco has recorded a nice play-through video on his channel that might help anyone learn the melody should they be so inclined.
I’m a former Bebop-aholic, so Dexter’s “Montmartre” is in the set and as it’s a partly “clarinet led” quartet, there’s a dozen Benny Goodman classics in there, from “Memories of You”, “Goodbye” and “It’s Easy to Remember, to “Estrellita”, “a smooth one” and “soft Winds”
Thank you for support, Bill. I was going to take you through it in person but I could do a slow and detailed melody playthrough. The angle in that video isn't the best to see the hand plus my guitar doesn't have fretmarkers.

@Buco that's a nice tune man! very smo-ooth stuff going on there. All the Dexter Gordon fans- yeah, he's just incredible. so much fun to play his arrangements of tunes as well (Go & Our man in paris are my two favorite records). @rad curious to here Those were the days- any audio for us to check out? Groovin' High is always a good one. Lately I've been checking out 'lonesome road' after seeing Veronica Swift sing it with Emmet Cohen. Also Debi Botos posted 'Golden Earings' a la Ray Bryant. Finally, We have been playing Star Eyes . . . thats a great tune.

Thank you, Ben! Smooth is good.
Not sure if it qualifies because it may be popular in some jams but I love Paquito by Paquito Lorier. Such a cool tune.
Softly as in a morning sunrise is one of my go-tos - it’s easy for other players to pick up and it really swings.
