    Hard to just pick just three, but these three always get a regular outing in my house. West Side Story - Dave Grusin. Kind Of Blue - Miles Davies. Michel Camilo Big Band - Caribe.

    On Electric, Tower Of Power/Steely Dan. On Upright, any band with Wes Montgomery leading.

    From the OP. "just for giggles"

    Hey Villis. Top playing on ‘Don’t Funk With Me’, excellent stuff.

    Always liked Sting, his playing/singing and composing. He is still singing ok as well these days. Huge talent. Must say though, the Bass (to me) needs turning up in the OP video, it sounds very week in the mix, muddy, indistinct, with no attack at all (just my opinion of course). A good friend of mine has just had a book published about Sting and his history. (Actually he has written a good Zappa book as well). http://www.reaktionbooks.co.uk/display.asp?ISB=9781780238135

    Ok, that was worth a flipping trophy.

    Why go to Bingo, when you can do that at Basschat ?

    What, Stacking up Ukuleles? Please don't do a Boney M cover.

    The “ Lush New Arrangements” “Watch the new video for the Aretha Franklin and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra version of “Respect,” which shows some gorgeous archive footage of the Queen of Soul performing live, along with the orchestra adding lush new arrangements at Abbey Road Studios in London. The track is included on A Brand New Me: Aretha Franklin with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, out November 10.”

    Yeah, or course. But, it was billed as “vintage vocals paired with new arrangements from the RPO” The duo of Patrick & Reedman talking through the production and arrangements.

    No puppet show ?

    If you think you are getting a 'laugh' or a 'trophy' for that stinky poo to add to your '91', you can flip off.

    Maybe Joseph Pujol ? Apart from playing his Ocarina through his Anus, he was principal Farteur at The Moulin Rouge (Le Pétomane). Here he is during his act. Thankfully, a silent movie.

    Sometimes it works (imo). Joni Mitchell revisited 'Both Sides Now'. The arrangements from 'Vince Mendoza' are outstanding. But then again, he is top draw.

    Any old excuse to start another Beatles are best bun fight.**

    Schubert for me, but closely followed by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Modern day, John Williams (the composer). his consistent quality of work over the years is amazing. 85 and still working!!

    Cool & Groovy. Master of Melody, Dave Grusin.

    Oh yes, Sanborn - No one else sounds like Sanborn.

    Seeing as it's now a TV theme free for all...We need Cagney & Lacey. Bill Conti at his best., with Ray Pizzi on Alto Sax, and Ernie Watts playing Tenor. Not sure who the lead Trumpet player is, but some lungs on him. Wonderful stuff.

    Don't check out dude, you always bring something musically different to the table. Sometimes delivered like a nuclear bomb, but always interesting. As it happens, I agree with you about the HG program (including the gaping whole regarding George Martin), so do a few of the posters on that YouTube thread, it seems. Carry on.

    Yeah I agree. I only went for the one band, but Dan are right up there for me as well. Another band full of great arrangements/harmonies/melodies and plenty of improvising. Also they have had some terrific players in their band and on the recordings.

    Barry Gray was terrific. The amount of quality TV music he delivered was quite something.

    I forgot about that Johnny Mathis tune. All the right ingredients I think. Not really upbeat Disco, but I just noticed that Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams tune, 'Too Much, Too Little, Too Late'. Gorgeous tune.

    Dave Grusin wrote some great big band/Jazz themed tunes for TV in the late 60's and early 70's. YouTube 'Dave Grusin TV Themes', plenty of lovely arrangements and tunes from him.
