My best mate when I was a teen JW introduced me to music beyond the pop charts.
This was one of his albums.

"Take the food from hungry children, they won't cry
Food alone won't ease the hunger in their eyes.
Every child belongs to mankind's family
Children are the fruit of all humanity
Let them feel the love of all the human race
Touch them with the warmth, the strength of that embrace."
Tonights offering from Chuck - the theme tune to the film of the same name.
Chuck was comissioned to write the score for the movie and locked himself away in a hotel room until it was finished.
The instrument he plays starting at 4:25 is the flugelhorn. Its an aquired taste but worth the effort IMO.
Chill out.
I bought this album when it was newly released... haven't seen either the album or the record player since the early 80's. Even if I found the record I wouldn't have a way to play it anymore. A great recording, though - good times
Great album cofty one more for the essential Jazz Library.
others: Miles Davis, Sketch's Of Spain; Freddie Hubbard, First Light; Yusef Latiff, Love Theme From Sparticus....
Miles Davies "Kind of Blue" first choice on the teamsheet every time. I will need to check out your other suggestions thanks.
Tell me the trumpet note at 40 seconds doesn't send shivers down your spine.
