Soft Winds (Benny Goodman) - Solo Jazz/Blues Guitar
from wikipedia: Soft Winds is a 1940 jazz standard composed by Benny Goodman, with lyrics by Fred Royal.[1] Charlie Parker performed it regularly in the 1940s. In 1961, jazz harpist Dorothy Ashby released an album of the same name with the song as the title track, recorded at the Plaza Sound Studios in New York City. Canadian jazz pianist Oscar Peterson regularly performed the song in the 1970s and 1980s with the Oscar Peterson Quartet. Chet Baker,[2] Dinah Washington and numerous others recorded it. - wikipedia

About Emily Remler from Wikipedia:
Born in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey,[1] Remler began guitar at age ten. She listened to pop and rock guitarists like Jimi Hendrix and Johnny Winter. At the Berklee College of Music in the 1970s, she listened to jazz guitarists Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, Herb Ellis, Pat Martino, and Joe Pass.[2]
Career
Remler settled in New Orleans, where she played in blues and jazz clubs, working with bands such as Four Play and Little Queenie and the Percolators[3] before beginning her recording career in 1981. She was praised by jazz guitarist Herb Ellis, who referred to her as the new superstar of guitar and introduced her at the Concord Jazz Festival in 1978.[2]
In a 1982 interview with People magazine, she said: I may look like a nice Jewish girl from New Jersey, but inside Im a 50-year-old, heavy-set black man with a big thumb, like Wes Montgomery.
Her first album as a band leader, Firefly, gained positive reviews,[3] as did Take Two and Catwalk. She recorded Together with guitarist Larry Coryell. She participated in the Los Angeles version of Sophisticated Ladies from 1981–1982 and toured for several years with Astrud Gilberto. She also made two guitar instruction videos.
In 1985, she won Guitarist of the Year in Down Beat magazines international poll. In 1988, she was artist in residence at Duquesne University and the next year received the Distinguished Alumni award from Berklee. Bob Moses, the drummer on Transitions and Catwalk, said, Emily had that loose, relaxed feel. She swung harder and simpler. She didnt have to let you know that she was a virtuoso in the first five seconds.[4]
Remler married Jamaican jazz pianist Monty Alexander in 1981; the marriage ended in 1984.
Her first guitar was her brothers Gibson ES-330. She played a Borys[5] B120 hollow body electric towards the end of the 1980s. Her acoustic guitars included a 1984 Collectors Series Ovation and a nylon string Korocusci classical guitar that she used for bossa nova.
When asked how she wanted to be remembered she remarked, Good compositions, memorable guitar playing and my contributions as a woman in music...but the music is everything, and it has nothing to do with politics or the womens liberation movement.
Remler bore the scars of her longstanding addictions, including dilaudid, and heroin[4] (which is believed to have contributed to her death).[6][4] She died of heart failure at the age of 32[1] at the Connells Point home of musician Ed Gaston, while on tour in Australia.

From Wikipedia:
Blue Bossa is an instrumental jazz composition by Kenny Dorham. It was introduced on Joe Hendersons 1963 album Page One.[1] A blend of hard bop and bossa nova, the tune was possibly influenced by Dorhams visit to the Rio de Janeiro Jazz Festival in 1961.[2][3] The tune has since been recorded numerous times by different artists, making it a jazz standard.[4]
