Isle of the Dead - Sergei Rachmaninoff -- Mikhail Pletnev Russian National Orchestra

My pleasure. That was the first version of Charade I ever found interesting. One of my tests of a well crafted song is that it will stand up to completely different treatments. Don't get me wrong, I like tons of music that won't stand up to that test, but I have a special appreciation for those that do. I like a lot of Mancini work, especially when he was doing Cool School era jazz like this. The Brothers Go To Mothers - Henry Mancini

Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray - Patsy Cline

This one is a real groaner

While compiling a 'fake disk' for Band-in-a-Box, we ran across this version of Henry Mancini's "Charade". I never cared for the song by Mancini, although I like a lot of his other work, but this version I really like. It is done by a bunch of Italians who seem to have a very good understanding of how to play Brazilian stye music. Charade - Nicola Conte

A song my mom used to play when I was a wee tot. Mister Sandman - Chordettes

Everybody Makes A Mistake - Otis Redding

Nut Rocker - B. Bumble & The Stingers

"Kiss on My List "- Daryl Hall, Rob Thomas

Isn't that how Hendrix did it?

^^^ that many strings on a guitar would only give me an opportunity to play more wrong notes at the same time Má Vlast (My Country) - Bedřich Smetana - Czech Philharmonic (one of my very favorite orchestras) - Jiří Bělohlávek conducting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXt2zGiDa80 (couldn't get it to embed)

"Still A Fool" - Muddy Waters

Who Do You Love - Bo Diddley

Yes, but every jazz band I've ever played in did "Night In Tunisia". Another "Jazz Standard". A Latin take on the Art Farmer and Benny Golson classic Killer Joe - Jorge Dalto and the Inter-American Band

"What A Fool Believes" - Doobie Brothers

Space Truckin' -Deep Purple

If there ever was a Jazz' Greatest Hits collection, this would be included. "A Night In Tunisia" - Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker

Looks like I missed the last page for my last post (It was a good song anyway). Back on track - Another song that was fun to play when I was in a 7-piece band. (I got both a flute and a sax solo too!) Another Star - Stevie Wonder

Devil's Gun - C.J. & Co. During the disco era, this is one I enjoyed playing (I got to sing the bass/baritone part)

Salt Song - Stanley Turrentine Mr.T. was a great sax player, and here is one of his signature cuts.

Easy Target - Heart
