I love this tune! The Real Book has the third chord as an Ab7, though the majority of recordings I’ve found seem to prefer a D-7. I wouldn’t say the Ab7 is necessarily “wrong” though, as several some recordings use the Ab7. Learn to navigate both, and use your ears at jam sessions!

Saw Scofield live, it was incredible.
Luckily, if the band you are playing with does play the D-7 as the third chord and you are playing the Ab7, you’ll be blowing over it as the tri-tone sub, and it could sound really hip.
