Have been holding off on linking this just to see if someone else would.
Hope this doesn't get the thread exiled to the Entertainment forum.
This is the original.

Oscar's solo starts about 3:15. Dexter is good before that and better after it.

Rod Argent on the organ. I’m pretty sure the first part is on a real tracker (church) organ.

@Bigboote: i'll call your Renaissance and raise you 2..

This is John Tout of Renaissance. This one has piano and harpsichord, and features Jon Camp's "bass as lead guitar" sound too. The same album has "At the Harbour," which has a prolonged piano intro that consists entirely of a Debussy piece, played very well.

the orchestral part in the middle is one of my favorite Renaissance instrumental pieces.

 

[Slipperman]

great piano solo by Joe Sample..

 

[Slipperman]

title track from Trilogy album..

 

[Slipperman]

Bill Bruford's solo band..

[BrianUC]

Another great one from Nicky Hopkins.

Perhaps Rick Wakeman's finest work. After the distinctive church organ segments there's an energetic keyboard solo that always gets me revved up.
