Probably one of my favorite instrumentals
YouTube ^

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!

Nice. Very distinct sound of an era.

“..and it was one of the few they liked that I liked as well.”

Same here. I was a rocker during the sixties, but HA played and arranged some fine music.

I’m guessing you will like this Swedish group.

I liked “MacArthur Park” when it came out for two reasons: Douglas MacArthur was one of my greatest heroes and the song was about Los Angeles.

My favorite instrumental of the sixties is Ame Câline (soul coaxing) by Raymond Lefèvre, a chart hit in the early months of 1968.

A&M had some of the coolest stuff in the 60s, including Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66.

This was another great A&M album from that era

Antonio Carlos Jobim - Wave

‘“Grazing in the Grass” - Hugh Masekela”

Saw him in a small basement club in Houston back in the day. Great performer.

For me...Kenny Price will ALWAYS be the Round Mound of Sound. I watched his performances for many, many years. I don’t think he was ever really fully appreciated in the country music world.
Then, I met him. And, that confirmed for me that he was NEVER fully appreciated.

Great guy. Great voice.

One of my favorite instrumentals of the '60's is Tonight by Ferrante & Teicher (1961). For some reason, when I hear it, I think of the "Joe 111" Soviet hydrogen bomb test that shocked the world at the time the song was rising on the charts.

he did. One of my all-time favorite theme songs. But then I always liked pretty much anything played by Al Hirt.
