OT: How about some instrumentals

[Kaizen]

A twist on a classic

This is really a classic music. One of my best. Good choice thanks...

So classic:

Route 66 theme by Nelson Riddle and his orchestra - probably about as classic as you can get:

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.
