Thanks again Matt. It's definitely in Bb in the Realbook I have (see attached).

That worked perfectly, thank you.

I did looked for this, then got sidetracked by the exciting news I can register for a COVID vaccine tomorrow. Eventually found that it only appears after version 2017.

I've been reading and playing music since I was 12, and I'll be 66 in August. I can't say it's an extensive knowledge base, but enough to get by. I suppose I would say that the chords and the playing don't 'sit' together well. Probably that the chords have too many 'blue notes' in them, if you catch my meaning.
