John, for sure I have that album (heck I probably have every MF album), but I *think* I actually have the charts for this version too somewhere. Or maybe we wrote them out at the time.
U of Texas (UTMB) Jazz Band. I lucked into a close-by educational program with masters and doctors on their instruments that came every on Tuesday night just for the fun of it (and we all enjoyed working with Sparky, the prof).
Man those were fun days.
I do have one remaining picture (after the hurricane ruined just about everything else from that era) .. I look like a kid playing with grownups .. and I was!

Mac Park was our prime time second show closer and we did it instrumentally. The band leader was a very good pianist and he basically did a Rachmaninoff on it. He was all over it doing big complex two handed flourishes with it and I backed him up on B3. The rest of the band was standard guitar, bass, drums and sometimes two horns and other times no horns.
We routinely got standing O's for that. Our agent told us we were the only group in his stable that did an instrumental for a closing piece. And yes the whole thing was charted out, as was most of the show for that matter. The leader wrote out the scores and I wrote out the individual parts. This was all for rehearsal only, for the performance it was all memorized.
Damn, as I'm writing this I remember again how much I really dislike gigs with no rehearsals and stuff is sloppy but it's still fun. I guess.

As they say; A bad day golfing is better than a good day at work. True, it IS funner when those involved have practiced a little .. for either. Well rehearsed shows are always more fun. But that takes effort.

FYI - for those who want to improve their site reading skills I would suggest getting a fake book and then get the corresponding fake book disc from Notes Norton Music. Notes' discs have the page number followed by the song title and they match perfectly with the fake book. Just open a page, load BiaB with the corresponding song and play. Note on occasion you may have to select a different style if you don't have the one suggested.
This works perfectly for me. YMMV
Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

There used to be a story that the incredible Jimmy Smith couldn't read. The fact was he could read quite well, but didn't have to. He could hear a song once and play it, or so the story goes.
I played in a band with a blind guy who is now a big star in France. He didn't need to read either. He could hear just about anything. But he could read braille music as well. Now that's a skill.
I've done some session work and at one time was in a hired horn session behind a wanna-be star who never made it.
They stick a horn chart in front of us, some time explain a little on how it should be approached, and you read. If you don't read, you don't get the gig.
I've even seen drummers get gigs because they could read drum charts.
I've been in bands where nothing was notated and reading wasn't a necessary skill. But knowing how to read and knowing music theory made my life easier, my learning quicker, my understanding of the music better and my performance better.
If you can't read, you are handicapping yourself. At least that's the way I see it, and I don't know any readers who thought reading wasn't helpful.
