No, I'm not talking about Sherman and Mr. Peabody, but you youngsters in your mid-50s and younger can move along now.
OK, fellow aging baby boomers, does not this obscure instrumental take you back to the early 1960s, when our own parents were young, girls were girls and the future seemed full of promise for America? There is something about the arrangement that covers a lot of bases that put me firmly in the year it was recorded. The piano work also reminds me of the theme song from "Route 66." Kinda makes me want to put a dab of Brylcream on my comb and slap on a little Jade East.

Easy there old timer, at your age we don't need you taking a spill getting off that soap-box...Bill in Oregon wrote:No, I'm not talking about Sherman and Mr. Peabody, but you youngsters in your mid-50s and younger can move along now.
FWIW I grew up on music like that. I don't recall that exact song but I remember Take Five being a big player at our house. So was Sergio Mendes and Brazil '66 for that matter. Dad was (and still is) a fan of early 60s jazz like that so I heard a lot of that and blues.
If you haven't already, do yourself a favor and find A Day in the Life by Wes Montgomery. Wonderful jazz guitar work from the mid to late-60s and a very unique and soothing playing style. In fact, here it is (if the link works): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ooeMXnP ... uYyfzjEtjQ
Back up link just in case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ooeMXnP ... uYyfzjEtjQ

Re: Wayback machine
Nice stuff Andrew. I used to have a Ramsey Lewis album covering some Beatles tunes that my father liked a lot as well.
Re: Wayback machine
Yep, a little dab will do ya. I would recommend Hai Karate over Jade East. As for '60s Jazz, it's John Coltrane for me.

Re: Wayback machine
Good stuff guys. Also some elements of some James Bond music in there (tempo, some melody etc) I grew up to a lot of that too. Brubeck and Take Five was on our tape machine all the time, as well as a lot of other jazz of the day. Nelson Riddle's Route 66 was great. Enjoy it all to this day. +1 to Wes Montgomery. The greatest. As a guitarist myself, I eat that stuff up. Gee, not sure it all stacks up to Beiber though?
Re: Wayback machine
I remember that type of music well. And, it had an attraction at the time. But, I was also heavily exposed to "real" country and western music (you know like Sons of the Pioneers and Patsy Cline). Still like many I became enamored with "our" music. It started as RockABilly, and transitioned into Rock and Roll. Then came acid rock and soul. But, as I got older, I rediscovered "real" country and western (today's country is really soft rock or as I call it RockABilly, hmm seems circular don't it). And, even later Jazz, which sort of spread into Blues then slipped sideways into Swing.
I guess what I'm getting at is that as I got older, I rediscovered some really great music I had ignored for decades. And, here's the really cool thing, we don't need a Wayback Machine. We have the internet, on which you can find almost anything (though I'm still looking for the theme song from the movie "Escape in the Sun").
So, to the OP, thanks for another reminder of what we Baby Boomers were lucky enough to be exposed to as we grew up. I suppose every generations felt this way, but I think "our" music (this really has to enclude our parents since we listened to it when we were very young) is the best.

Yes, Nelson's version was good, but then besides playing a doctor on the 70's show Emergency, Bobby Troop was one heck of a musician and song writer. Heck, any guy that could wed and bed Julie London had to have something on the ball.gak wrote:Good stuff guys.

My favorite early '60s TV theme music (Besides Rawhide) was the music from Peter Gunn by Henry Mancini.

My tastes never ran to what was popular on the radio top 100 list.
"Tower of Power" anyone? (one of the tightest funk bands ever, IMO)
