"In a Blue Mood", a great track by Ingfried Hoffmann's Big Band. This is from a concert performance in November 1966, full performance is linked in the comments. Composed by Ingfried Hoffmann.

A very smooth piece with catchy harmonies and saxophonist Niels Unbehagen supplying a brilliant solo. Hoffmann again provides some great piano. Also did I mention that I LOVE seeing Ingfried conducting? It seems like an odd thing to admire but I honestly love seeing stuff like that.
