"Blinks, written late 70's, is based on a "lick" by Edward "Kid" Ory, the New Orleans trombonist with the original Louis Armstrong Hot Five, and a famous soloist and bandleader in his own right.
The piece has been played thousands of times, with the sextet, quartet, duo, solo, etc., in many different ways."
