    The composer is John Dankworth. While Cal Tjader, for some unfathomable reason, did record a Latin version of it, the song was originally written for the soundtrack of Modesty Blaise, a ridiculous 60's spy parody. If you'd like to inflict it upon yourself:

    There's two kinds of mistakes you can play: The ones you notice, and the ones somebody else might notice.

    Pygmy,

    This is one workaround for playing multiple solos with different changes from the Head.

    Play the Head as an Intro. You can label the sections manually, as I've done. (You don't want to use the regular section head letters, because then the tune will keep returning to them.)

    Then add the solos, with a regular section letter, and specify the number in the Repeats box at the bottom. This way you can keep track of the number of solo choruses you've played with the counter at the top right.

    Add one extra solo chorus as a Coda so you can return back to the top of the Head.

    As I say, this is a workaround that may not look so pretty, but compensates for the fact that iReal Pro only allows you one page per tune.

    Cheers,
