Charlie "Bird" Parker: Koko (1945)
Bebop – which all REAL jazz is based upon. No more Uncle Tom music to please da white man. 👍

Charlie Parker is the man all right, and one day a few more people will realize it @helenS. Love the drum/brush break as well. Cheers.

@RoaringLion Bird, Bud, JJ, Miles, Max – those were the days!

The BoJack Horseman theme

@SW-User That is a good one.

Love the sustained brass section soaring overhead @SW-User. Precipitates into a kind of end scene of Close Encounters of the Third Kind on acid in the quieter moments.

Beautiful. Thanks @DunningKruger.

That's what you call a real Bobby Dazzler @BlueSkyKing. Thank you.

Thanks @Ontheroad. Rather than the top-down view of the beach scene at the end, I see the same perspective over what happens in the twilight shadows of the city. Cheers.
Belladonna · 41-45, F

Appearing as a speck on the horizon and growing into a thundering force to be reckoned with @Belladonna. Nice.
Anything from Henry Mancini probably.

Ok. I chose "Stella by Starlight" @SethGreene531. Sparse, simple and wistful. Fair pulls the carpet out from under your feet when the strings arrive at 0.46 in the piece. Cheers.
@RoaringLion Tremendous choice, bravo, bravo!!
@SethGreene531 I’ve always loved the theme from "Experiment in Terror", too. 😊

Secret agent surf sounds @SW-User. That's pretty cool.
SW-User
we can include accapella?
RoaringLion · 51-55, M
It'd be a great song to use as a radio host, where a caller wins a prize if they sing the correct line when the music stops @SW-User. The unashamed energy in this piece makes me smile, makes me happy. Thank you sir.
SW-User
@RoaringLion Don't worry, be happy... it'll happen. Fun response.

His talent is beyond words themselves. Kind of why I wanted to include this piece into instrumental. I, myself, hear an invocation. Was lucky enough to see him live.
RoaringLion · 51-55, M
I remember well, when you said you always have a song in mind for any occassion @SW-User. Your knowledge and friendship is much appreciated.

There are so many more including all of mantovani and anything from the high Renaissance. Some jazz too

A groove so luxurious, you could lick it. Thank you @bijouxbroussard.
