Herb Alpert and more spy jazz

Happy Canada Day!! We were going to do something special to celebrate it, but it seems my network setup here sort of had different ideas...

We've had a request for more spy jazz and I couldn't agree more! So we've added another version of Peter Gunn along with Men on the Move, and the F.B.I Theme. Hopefully more spy jazz will surface, but, being spies and all, that type of music is good at hiding!

New Tracks

  • Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass - Casino Royale
  • Keith Mansfield - Men on the Move
  • John Evans - Gualione
  • Ole Jensen And His Music - Daisy Bird
  • Pete Moore Orchestra - A Girl Is A Girl

Frank Sinatra ... and more

Some music from Frank Sinatra with Learning the Blues, also some more from Quincy Jones (and several more.)

A cool Brazil tune from Joanie Sommers with "Quiet Nights", the Garry Blake Orchestra with "The Odd Couple" theme, and "Two Note Samba". A musical variation of "Wives and Lovers".

You know, I don't really care for the lyrics of Wives & Lovers, seems a bit sexist for our current enlightened era, but I do like the music behind it and I hope you enjoy it as I do.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
