Stranger On The Shore. My very first paying gig was me playing that (on clarinet) for a “sock hop” in the gym at the age of 13. I got $5, a princely sum in those days (could take my girlfriend to the juke joint for a burger and a shake!)

If only I had invested that 5 bucks. I can’t even remember my GF’s name from back then (not that one anyway…)

One classic tune! Still playing it for the older dancers…

Yeah, it stands the test of time.

I went through the Hal Leonard master song index for their Jazz Play Along (C,Bb,Eb,Bass) book series, however interestingly, it does not have Stranger On The Shore. (Their list is available for download.)

Neither does the Hal Leonard The Real Book, 6th Edition have it.

It is a legacy tune, just surprised it does not appear except as a separate HL music sheet and in one music book with limited Kenny G tunes in it.

I’m not surprised. It’s a pop song, not a jazz tune. Que Sera, Sera isn’t in those lists either.
