Welcome to today's Instrumental Friday post on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. We'll be featuring instrumental music from Miles Davis, Max Roach and Henry Mancini;who're all very gifted composers. So, sit back and enjoy this jazz-themed instrumental post.
So What - Miles Davis
This is one of the most famous jazz songs of all time and is often credited as Miles Davis' best work. A lovely jazz tune, this song set the standard for many jazz songs to come. Clocks in at an impressive 9 minutes and 25 seconds.
Woody 'N' You - Max Roach
Max Roach was a pioneer of bebop music and many consider him to be one of the most important drummers of all time. Mr. Roach was a jazz drummer, percussionist and gifted composer. Although, this song was composed by Dizzy Gillespie, a very well know colleague of Max Roach (pictured above).
Baby Elephant Walk - Henry Mancini
An incredibly upbeat, jazzy number; if you're alive, you most likely have heard this song. Written for the movie Hatari!, this tune has gone on to become one of Mr.Mancini's most well-know pieces of music.
Thanks for reading.
BY THE WAY! Austin Powers 4, anyone? I think so! (November 18th, 2008)
