@bigfootdean1 ... when I uploaded this from my music library ... the disc clearly says "Meditation Blues" ... when I "googled" it to double check .... you are 100 % right, and I thank you !
Well as it turns out, I'm only kinda right on this one. Donald called it "Hesitation Blues" on Piano Jazz (Marian McPartland's radio show, where this was performed) and it is called that by most other artists as well. It is a traditional tune that knows many different variations. Donald's version owes much to WC Handy's interpretation of the song. Handy called his version "Hesitating Blues".
Outstanding. But the name of the song is "Hesitation Blues"

Anyway, glad I could help.
