Probably one of my favorite instrumentals

From the man they used to call "the round mound of sound!" The man could blow a trumpet like it was noboby's business.

Autumn Leaves is a good one too.

Enjoy!

This is WAY too weird

I heard CC for the first time in ages a month ago

Thanks for the link.

Al Hirt ... a reminder of the days when musicians actually made music and entertainers were actually entertaining.

I like these high schoolers better:

I always like: A Taste of Honey

My parents had that album, Whipped Cream & Other Delights, and it was one of the few they liked that I liked as well. 8>)

Here is the entire album:

Whipped Cream & Other Delights, Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass, 1965 on Vinyl

There were so many great,*great* instrumentals from the 50s and 60s. I'd hear them with my parents on the car radio and at home.

This one From Maynard Fergusan

His “Eli’s Coming” is killer too.

Theme From "A Summer Place"

Perhaps my very favorite instrumental.Reminds me of a happy,innocent childhood.

[Robert DeLong]

Sorry that isn't the entire album. Here are all the songs on that album:

[Robert DeLong]

Yeah she is good, as were the other kids, not sure I can say the same about the sax player though. Sounded like he missed a few notes here & there. 8>)

[Kevin in California]

Boy ain’t that the truth Nonthingburger?

[Robert DeLong]

Yeah I liked MacArthur Park, and Eli’s Coming was entertaining too.

[Robert DeLong]

Yep, great song, reminds me of Santana - Samba Pa Ti

[dfwgator]

How about this one?

“Grazing in the Grass” - Hugh Masekela

MF stands out but I have to give the crown to Miles.

[nickcarraway]

How about The Horse by Cliff Noble & Orchestra.

[Ratman0823]

Yeah I liked MacArthur Park

Whenever I hear a reference to the song, or hear it played, it reminds me of college band days. We all hated the song, but our band leader insisted on playing it at every game. We finally decided that it was on the radio the first time he had sex, and it was a fond memory for him.

I still hate it to this day for that reason.

Now, Chuck Mangione's "Bellavia", that's a different story. A modern day version of "Bolero", if you saw the movie!

Thanks for that link. I am frustrated trumpet player. My heroes were Maynard Ferguson, Herb Alpert and Arturo Sandoval .
