OT: How about some instrumentals

He does sing one line announcing his birthday.

Here's another Chinese piece. This is a concerto written in 1959 by a couple of conservatory students. It's inspired by a legend of forbidden love; the lovers eventually become butterflies. Akiko Suwanai plays this better than anyone else I've heard.

There were a lot of good instrumentals in the late 50’s - early 60’s. Here’s another Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.

Excellent one. A classic masterpiece, thanks.

This is from Synergy's first album, Electronic Realizations for Rock Orchestra, euphemistically named since Synergy was just Larry Fast on synthesizers. This is his take on Richard Rodgers's Slaughter on Tenth Avenue.

One more violin concerto for now. This is Hilary Hahn, probably about 15, playing Prokofiev's first concerto in absolutely breathtaking fashion.

So many options for this thread and a good one for the times we are in. Has many digging back in time and forgetting for a few minutes the present. One of my favorite players of which I have plenty is King Curtis, he blessed so many records in the later 50's and early 60's. All those bands did not have sax players, it was King Curtis in the house / studio.

Larry Carlton plays the sweetest guitar solo on this one:

I'm not a big fan of horns, but this is pretty classic. I can't believe none of you got this already. Might not be their most famous song but I sampled a few to remind myself and I like the sound of it.

One more. I've always thought this is simply an amazing song from the first time I saw the movie quite a few years ago. I'm sure you can find various versions of it played on various different instruments. This is but one version.
